Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is more than just art and architecture, it's the perfect gateway to explore the rolling hills, vineyards, and historic villages of Tuscany by bike. Whether you're a casual rider or an experienced cyclist, our Florence cycling holidays combine cultural richness with unforgettable landscapes, all under the Tuscan sun.
Florence offers the ideal blend of culture and countryside. Start your mornings pedalling along scenic riverbanks or through cypress-lined lanes. Spend your afternoons savouring gelato in sunlit piazzas or touring local wineries nestled in Chianti country. Our carefully curated routes offer a balance of cycling adventure and authentic Italian immersion.
Expect quiet country roads, medieval hill towns, and panoramic views stretching across golden valleys. With local guides, charming accommodations, and regional cuisine along the way, your Florence bike tour becomes more than just a ride, it's a full-sensory journey through the soul of Tuscany.
The best time to cycle Florence is April to June and September to October, when the weather is mild, and the countryside is at its most beautiful. Summer months are warmer but manageable with early starts and shaded routes.
The landscape shifts beautifully as you ride: from the riverside paths along the Arno, to the olive groves and golden fields of the countryside, to narrow medieval lanes leading into hilltop villages. For those who want a gentler ride, e-bikes help smooth out the steeper sections while still delivering the thrill of Tuscany’s contours.
“Florence was one of the first cities in Italy to introduce a bike-sharing system—and it’s still one of the best ways to explore the historic center. Even locals often cycle across the Arno on vintage bikes to grab espresso or shop at the market!”
