Bikepacking de Bologna à Florence

Kick off your cycling adventure in the charming city of Bologna, famous for its rich culinary heritage and stunning medieval architecture. As you pedal out, you'll leave behind its iconic red-roofed skyline for a journey through some of Italy’s most scenic landscapes.

This ride to Florence is not your typical A to B—it's a full-on exploration through a mix of quiet roads and invigorating cycleways, with a few tracks thrown in to keep things interesting. The route’s got some serious ups and downs, with an ascent and descent both over 4,700 meters. So, it’s a great leg workout and a feast for the eyes.

Packing your trail mix and a few essentials is a good idea since over half the surface type is missing, making it a little more rugged—think adventure vibes. Asphalt makes up a good third of the ride, so your road bike will have its moments to shine.

As you roll into Florence, prepare to be welcomed by the mesmerizing art and culture of the Renaissance city. From the Duomo to Michelangelo’s David, it's got history etched into every corner.

Enjoy the ride, and remember, Tuscany is best savored in every sense!
