Noce

Noce offers practical starting points for planning a trip focused on cycling and public gardens. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, first decide what kind of outing will shape your plans: a connection between two destinations, a circular ride, or a garden visit with a commemorative focus. The routes and places cater to different travel plans.

Bicipolitana Line 5

Bicipolitana Line 5 connects the centre of Bologna with Trebbo. It mainly uses single-lane cycle lanes running along the carriageway. This identifies both endpoints of the connection and one feature of its route. If Bologna city centre and Trebbo are among your destinations, this line can serve as a travel option in its own right. Check the current route before setting off, as the technical design of the infrastructure may change. Bicipolitana Line 5 connects the destinations named above and differs in form from the Bologna Nord–Pescarola-Noce circular route.

Bologna Nord–Pescarola-Noce Circular Route

The circular route starts at the car park of Ospedale Maggiore. It passes through the northern outskirts of Bologna, via Selva di Pescarola and Noce, and returns via Via Zanardi. The starting point, places along the route, and return leg make the loop easy to follow. Unlike the Bicipolitana connection, this route focuses not on two destinations but on a ride that returns to its starting point. This is a practical difference when choosing a ride: would you like to travel between Bologna city centre and Trebbo, or plan a loop that passes through Noce?

The circular route can be ridden year-round; no particular climate-related problems are expected. Local conditions may vary, and surfaces and recommended routes may change. So check the current route and conditions before setting off. This lets you take into account both year-round planning and the conditions relevant to your specific ride.

Public Gardens and a Memorial Site

Public gardens also offer specific destinations. For the 2024–2025 service period, Giardino Noce Capolinea is listed as a public garden on Via Francesco Zanardi. As this date range refers to a specific service period, check the latest visitor information if you are travelling later. Giardino Primo Zecchi, formerly Della Noce - Circuito, is also a public garden on Via Francesco Zanardi. Use its full name when planning your visit to distinguish it from Giardino Noce Capolinea.

Giardino Primo Zecchi also has a commemorative significance: in the 2026 programme of the “Stazioni di Memoria” project, it is the third stop. It commemorates the victims of the Uno Bianca gang and explores the rule of law today. This gives your travel plans different possible focuses: the route and conditions of a cycling trip, or a named public garden with a specific commemorative theme.
