Cycling day trip from Florence to San Gimignano

Hey there, cycling enthusiast! Ready to pedal through the heart of Tuscany? Start your journey in the charming city of Florence, known for its stunning architecture and rich Renaissance art history. Grab a cup of espresso in one of the fabulous piazzas before you set off; you'll need the energy!

Your destination, San Gimignano, lies about 68 kilometers away. This picturesque town is famous for its medieval walled old town and skyline peppered with ancient towers. It's the perfect blend of history and beauty, offering fantastic views of the surrounding vineyards.

The ride itself is a beautiful mix of landscapes and experiences. Brace yourself for some hearty climbs (with over 1500 meters of ascent, it's no flat ride!), but remember: what goes up, must come down. The route will take you through serene quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making up 79% of the journey. Be prepared for a mixed terrain where gravel meets asphalt—great for keeping you alert!

Along the way, expect to enjoy rolling hills, charming villages, and maybe even a vineyard stop or two. Pack some snacks, keep hydrated, and don't forget your camera. This is one epic ride you won't forget! Safe travels!
