Weekends are made for adventure — and there’s no better way to explore than with Dott by your side.
As the European Champion of Micromobility, we’re proud to be part of the landscape in some of the most vibrant and travel-worthy cities. Whether you’re discovering them for the first time or revisiting an old favorite, forget the tourist buses and traffic jams, our local rides make it easy to see more, support local businesses, and reduce your footprint.
Athens is a place where ancient history meets buzzing modern energy. Start your journey at the Acropolis, where the Parthenon overlooks the city like a silent guardian. Then hop on a Dott and let the streets guide you: cruise through the charming alleys of Plaka, stop for a strong Greek coffee in a Monastiraki café, and explore the vintage stores and vibrant murals of Exarchia.
Don’t miss sunset views from Lycabettus Hill — and make time to discover emerging art spaces and hidden rooftop bars in Psiri and Kerameikos. Dott helps you weave through Athens’ unique blend of ruins and rhythm without missing a beat.

Bordeaux is where 18th-century beauty meets bold modern energy. Begin your ride in the UNESCO-listed old town, where golden limestone buildings line elegant squares. Then make your way to La Cité du Vin — a striking, immersive wine museum shaped like a swirl of glass and metal.
Looking for something more alternative? Head to Les Bassins des Lumières, a digital art experience inside a former submarine base, or Darwin Écosystème, a vibrant community space with eco-startups, street art, and a delicious mix of organic cafés and local markets.
Cruise along the Garonne River, relax under the medieval arch of Porte Cailhau, and enjoy the slow rhythm of a city that blends heritage with sustainability.

Copenhagen is the poster child for sustainable urban living — and it’s best seen from an e-bike. Start your journey in Nyhavn, the iconic harbor lined with rainbow-colored houses and boats. Ride past Rosenborg Castle and the Botanical Garden, or explore Amalienborg Palace, home to the Danish royal family.
Want something nostalgic? Try the twinkling lights of Tivoli Gardens, one of the world’s oldest amusement parks. Looking for local vibes? Grab a coffee in Nørrebro or visit the food halls at Torvehallerne. Dott makes navigating Copenhagen’s ultra-bikeable streets effortless — and fun.
Top tips:
Turin (or Torino, if you’re local) is Italy’s quiet achiever — less touristy than Rome, just as rich in culture. Begin your ride at Piazza Castello, then follow the leafy boulevards to the romantic Valentino Park along the Po River.
This city surprises: you’ll find cutting-edge contemporary art at the Fondazione Sandretto, grand cafés like Caffè Mulassano, and charming flea markets at Porta Palazzo. Don’t forget to taste a bicerin — a heavenly mix of coffee, chocolate, and cream.
Dott makes it easy to move between districts, from the historic center to the elegant hilltop views of Monte dei Cappuccini.
Top tips:
Verona isn’t just about Shakespeare’s lovers. It’s a compact, charming city that begs to be explored slowly — and sustainably. Start in Piazza Bra with a view of the Roman Arena, then roll over the Adige River to discover the quieter side of town in Borgo Trento.
Stop for gelato in Piazza delle Erbe, climb up to Castel San Pietro for panoramic views, and ride the scenic Lungadige bike paths. With Dott, you’re free to trace the city’s history, find your own favorite bar, and take it all in at your own pace.
