Fiera del Cicloturismo brings bicycle travel to Fiera di Padova, combining an exhibition with practical talks and an industry programme. Organized by Bikenomist, its sixth edition is scheduled for 19–21 March 2027: Friday is reserved for professionals, while the public can visit on Saturday and Sunday.
The exhibition
The fair is designed for people planning bicycle holidays as well as businesses working in cycle tourism. Destinations, tour operators, accommodation providers, bicycle companies and service providers are among the groups the organizer aims to bring together.
For 2027, Bikenomist plans 20,000 square metres of space and expects more than 300 exhibitors and co-exhibitors. The proposed layout groups the fair into road, mountain bike, gravel and bikepacking, and events areas. These are organizer forecasts, so visitors should check the final exhibitor information when planning a visit.
Talks and professional programme
Three stages are planned around different sides of travelling by bicycle. Palco Vie focuses on cycle routes and destinations; Palco Storie presents journeys and personal projects; and Palco Saperi covers practical knowledge such as organizing a trip and welcoming cycle tourists. The organizer says the detailed 2027 programme will be published after proposals have been selected.
Friday 19 March is the professional day, with the Forum del Cicloturismo, training, networking and a workshop for business meetings. The workshop connects sellers with international buyers through scheduled one-to-one appointments; places are limited.
Opening hours and admission
The announced hours for 2027 are 10:00–18:00 on Friday and Saturday and 10:00–17:00 on Sunday. Friday is dedicated to professionals and requires an entrance ticket. Public admission on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 March is free with registration.
Each registered visitor needs a separate email address. Accompanied minors enter free and do not need to register. The organizer recommends registering in advance to speed up entry, although registration is also available at the fair.
Getting to Fiera di Padova
The venue is at Via Tommaseo 59 in Padova. The organizer describes it as a few minutes from the railway station on foot or by bicycle; city buses and the tram also stop near the exhibition district.
Visitors arriving by bicycle can use guarded bicycle parking, and the organizer recommends bringing a good lock. For drivers, the suggested motorway exit is Padova Est on the A4; paid parking is available nearby at Park Nord and Park Mantegna.
