Cycling day trip from Florence to Arezzo

Get ready for a delightful ride from the heart of Tuscany, starting in the iconic city of Florence and cycling your way to the charming medieval city of Arezzo. This route stretches over around 110 kilometers and offers a majestic mix of landscapes you'll absolutely fall in love with.

Starting in Florence, you'll pedal away from the cultural wonders like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, heading into rolling hills and picturesque vineyards. Be prepared for some leg work, as you'll climb close to 1,900 meters in total elevation, peaking at an elevation of just over 471 meters. But it's not all uphill! You'll enjoy a fair amount of descent as well.

The route will see you cruising along quiet roads and cycleways, allowing for some peaceful moments to soak in the Tuscan countryside vistas. There’s a blend of road surfaces including asphalt and a fair bit of gravel, so a hybrid bike might be your best bet.

As you approach Arezzo, you’ll find yourself rolling through a tapestry of olive groves and charming villages. Once you arrive, enjoy exploring Arezzo’s historic squares and perhaps reward yourself with some local culinary delights. It’s the perfect way to conclude your journey through a delightful part of Italy. Happy cycling!
