Tuscany
Rich traditions and vineyards
Tuscany is known for its beautiful landscapes, artistic history and cultural influence. The cultural heritage, which predates the Middle Ages, is expressed in Tuscany’s numerous churches, palaces, galleries, museums, and villages.
The mild climate, lush vineyards, and welcoming warmth of the Tuscan people are just a few reasons cyclists love to take their holidays in Tuscany. Cycling routes in Tuscany are diverse, and are good for cyclists of most levels—from healthy novices to advanced riding.
The routes traverse plains along the rivers and coasts, rolling countryside and steep terrain in the mountains. The best time to plan your visit is from March to June and from September to October.
We were on lovely, narrow country lanes and roads with few cars. We loved passing through vineyards, olive tree groves, and the hill-top villages along the way.”
