Cycling day trip from Florence to Arezzo

Florence to Arezzo Cycling Route Overview

Get ready for a truly scenic adventure! This route guides you from Florence, the heart of the Renaissance with its art-filled streets, through the rolling hills of Tuscany, and drops you into the medieval charm of Arezzo. Expect just under 110 km of mixed surfaces, mostly quiet roads and some cycleways, with plenty of picturesque gravel stretches along the way.

Be prepared for some serious climbing—nearly 1,900 meters of ascent! The ride’s not just about the challenge, though. You'll be passing through olive groves, vineyards, and hilltop villages, offering plenty of tempting spots to stop for a coffee or a gelato.

Florence’s Duomo is a stunning way to start your journey, while Arezzo greets you with its historic squares and Etruscan heritage. The mix of paved and some unpaved roads means a gravel or sturdy touring bike is your best bet. Take your time, soak in the Tuscan scenery, and reward yourself with Arezzo’s rustic cuisine at the finish!
