Sicily EscapE

 

Discover the beauty of Sicily the way you never thought was possible.

 

The capital of Tuscany originated as a Roman city, and later, after a long period as a flourishing trading and banking medieval commune, it was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. The urban fabric of Florence has hardly changed since then and its marvelous historic centre – a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982 – is packed with cobblestone streets, sophisticated palazzi, superb churches and world-class museums overflowing with masterpieces by the greatest Italian artists. Surrounded by rolling hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves, the city is also a paradise for foodies where eating and drinking bad is strictly forbidden. In the 1920s, Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened their boutiques here and the Cradle of the Renaissance has been a fashion capital ever since.

Florence by Bike Tour

LENGTH 3h

Why is biking in Florence so great? 

Since Florence is a small town, there are many streets that are too narrow to be reached by automobile or public transportation. Biking throughout the city will allow you to view all those little, unusual streets in a shorter amount of time while still staying active.
