Cycling day trip from Lucca to San Miniato

Get ready for an unforgettable cycling journey from the charming walled city of Lucca to the picturesque hillside town of San Miniato. Starting in Lucca, known for its stunning Renaissance walls and cobblestoned streets, you'll embark on a peaceful 56-kilometer ride through the heart of Tuscany.

As you pedal along mostly quiet roads (perfect for some tranquil cycling), you’ll encounter a delightful mix of landscapes and rural scenes. The route offers a gentle ascent of 436 meters, but don't worry—the stunning views of rolling hills and vineyards make it all worthwhile.

The ride is predominantly on asphalt, with a small portion on gravel and earthy tracks—adds a little adventure to your journey! This route is a refreshing break from busy roads, with only 2% of the travel on bustling sections, so you can enjoy the ride at your own pace.

Your final destination, San Miniato, is a Tuscan gem perched on a hilltop with a rich history and reputation for its prized white truffles. Take a moment to explore the medieval architecture or sit back and savor the local cuisine. This cycling route not only promises scenic beauty but also a taste of Tuscan culture!
