Cycling day trip from Florence to Siena

Ready for a Tuscan adventure? Ride from Florence to Siena and experience some of Italy’s most iconic scenery! Your journey begins in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance—think stunning art, majestic cathedrals, and that gorgeous Duomo you’ll see as you head out of the city.

The route covers nearly 98 km and serves up a healthy 2,100 meters of ascent, so you’ll want to bring your climbing legs. Don’t worry, though; every bit of sweat is rewarded by sweeping views of rolling vineyards, charming medieval towns, and those quintessential cypress-lined roads. About half the ride rolls along peaceful, quiet roads, with a mix of asphalt, gravel, and a dash of cobbles to keep things interesting.

You’ll finish in Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage gem that’s famous for its fan-shaped Piazza del Campo and the historic Palio horse race. Grab a gelato, wander the ancient streets, and soak up that “I just biked through Tuscany” feeling! It’s hilly, picturesque, and unforgettable—a classic ride for anyone looking to experience the heart of Italy by bike.
