Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Florence à Pise

Enjoy a scenic ride from Florence to Pisa, weaving your way through the heart of Tuscany! This roughly 100 km journey promises plenty of variety: you’ll pedal out of Florence’s historic center—home to the iconic Duomo and Renaissance art—before rolling west through picturesque countryside.

Much of the ride cruises along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so you can soak up the rolling vineyards and olive groves without too much traffic spoiling the mood. Expect some gentle climbs (with a total ascent around 465 meters and max elevation about 240 meters), but nothing too daunting. There are a few rougher patches—look out for some sections of gravel and unpaved track—but most of the way, you’ll be on smooth tarmac.

After about six hours in the saddle, you’ll roll into Pisa, famous for its Leaning Tower and lively piazzas. Don’t forget to snap a classic selfie with the tower—preferably with helmet hair! This ride combines Tuscan charm, manageable hills, and a taste of two of Italy’s most famous cities—what more could you want?
