Trade crowded tour buses for scenic trails and village lanes with these 10 destinations that offer a memorable way to explore on two wheels.

There is a particular pleasure in seeing a destination from the saddle of a bicycle. Unlike travelling by car or train, cycling slows the journey down just enough to make room for the details: the scent of a vineyard, the sound of a village waking up, a roadside café, a field stretching towards the horizon or a historic town appearing around a bend. The bicycle becomes more than a way to get from one place to another; it becomes a medium for experiencing a destination at close range.
