Are you ready to experience Grado in a different light? We look forward to seeing you at AstroBike, a new evening experience organised by the Grado Tourism Consortium, which combines a fun bike ride from the centre of Grado with the charm of astronomical observation at the best time: during the new moon, when the other celestial bodies are even more conspicuous..
An activity designed for those who love nature, the silence of the evening and the magic of the stars, to be enjoyed in small groups and in total relaxation.

Meeting point: Viale Dante Alighieri 72, Grado. Please arrive at the meeting point 10-15 minutes before departure.
Itinerary: The bike ride starts from the centre of Grado and heads towards Grado Pineta, along a peaceful and picturesque route. Once you arrive in Grado Pineta, there will be a first break to have a drink and recharge your batteries. This moment of relaxation also allows you to wait for daylight to fade completely, so that you can be sure of carrying out the activity in optimal conditions, with the sky dark enough for astronomical observation. After the break, the group continues by bicycle to the start of the cycle path by the sea in the direction of the campsites. Here, the bicycles will be left and the group will continue on foot for a few hundred metres to the point dedicated to the experience.
In this area, far from artificial lights, the guided observation of the sky will take place, with simple and engaging explanations of the main visible elements. Depending on the conditions and the conduct of the activity, the observation may take place at a single point or involve short movements along the route.
The total duration of the experience is approximately 2 hours.
