Discover a new side of Italy with us: quiet, sometimes almost mystical! On this tour you will see cities like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto or Narni, which have incredible art treasures and carry visitors back into the Middle Ages. The overall appearance of the cities has hardly changed and the landscapes are harmonious and inviting. On generally isolated roads, the tour takes you through the valleys of the Apennines, over the softly curved hills of Lake Trasimeno and through the solitude of small Umbrian villages. Raging rivers, fascinating gorges and the flocks of sheep roaming through the countryside shape this part of Italy. Going by bike is one of the best ways to explore this area. At the end of your trip, the “Eternal City” of Rome will welcome you! The best thing to do there is to put the bike aside and enjoy its liveliness with a cup of cappuccino or a good glass of red wine.
It starts with a train ride from Florence to Arezzo. The Gold City is home to magnificent churches and palaces. Definitely plan a trip. Then, the tour continues on the broad plain of Val di Chiana through the hills and mountain silhouettes of southern Tuscany.
On day three and four you travel about 65 kilometres to Assisi. The birthplace of Saint Francis has many secrets. Visit the churches of the picturesque town and enjoy the view.
In the next few days, you continue pedalling until you finally arrive in Rome. In the capital of Italy you can put down the bike, stroll through the pretty streets and wander past the famous sights.
You couldn’t find a better tour end!
The birthplace of the Renaissance – Florence: The city is not only home to important art, but also to delicious wine and romantic streets. Florence and the famous Ponte Vecchio is an absolute MUST on the cycle tour. The cypress-framed city shines in a golden light, making a perfect photo opportunity.
The Eternal City of Rome: Plan an evening walk on one of Rome’s famous seven hills, The Palatine is often referred to as the birthplace of ancient Rome and offers a breathtaking view of the city at dusk.
Eight days, eight times the pure Italian feeling! Cycle through the most beautiful spots in Tuscany until you arrive in Rome, the capital of Italy. Strong legs are needed for the hilly landscape. Ambitious pedalling is on the programme.
Two cities of extraordinary beauty - walk in the footsteps of Michelangelo in Florence and snap a photo at the Spanish Steps in Rome. In between, you'll cycle through idyllic landscapes and charming villages.
Tour briefing and distribution of the rental bikes. We recommend that you visit Florence’s beautiful centre recommended.
In the morning, you will take the train to Arezzo. There, you can visit the beautiful churches and palaces of the city of antiquities and gold. With your bike you will cycle on beautiful trails through the vast plains of the Val di Chiana, constantly accompanied by hill and mountain silhouettes of the southern Tuscany. You will pass Cortona and you will finally get to Lake Trasimeno, the battlefield of Hannibal against the Romans. Moreover, you will have a gorgeous view of Lake Trasimeno.
You will cycle along the lake to Torricella. From there you will continue through open fields, rolling hills and idyllic places to Perugia. Stroll through one of the nicest shopping streets of Italy to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Palazzo dei Priori, or the Arco Etrusco... the Umbrian capital will fascinate you.
After having crossed the river Tiber, it is only a few kilometres by bike to the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi. However, before you cycle up to the mystical city, you will take a trip to one of the most beautiful sanctuaries of Umbria: S. M. degli Angeli! In Assisi, you can immerse yourself in the colourful world of medieval frescoes by Giotto.
Your way leads you along the foot of the mighty Mount Subasio to the still entirely preserved medieval town Spello. Afterwards, you will continue through the Valle Umbra to Spoleto. Cities, such as Montefalco, Trevi, and Campello can be seen on the surrounding hills. From the more than 80 meters high aqueduct you can enjoy a vertiginous view of the Tessino Canyon, Mount Luco, and the papal fortress Rocca Albornoz.
Between mountains, accompanied by the beautiful countryside, you will cycle to Terni and further to Narni. Do you want to treat yourself? Terni is known for its excellent pastries and for having the most creative cuisine of the region! Narni and its medieval streets will take you back to ancient times.
In the middle of the green heart of Umbria, you will pass huge mountains until you reach Calvi, the last major town in this region. You can still enjoy the quiet and solitude of the Sabine mountains before you take the train to immerse yourself in the vibrant city of Rome.
You will cycle on a slightly hilly route during the whole tour; in between there are longer flat sections. You will find yourself almost exclusively on asphalt tracks and quiet side streets, partly also bad road conditions. Only very short sections are on busier roads, especially when entering or leaving cities.
