Florence To Rome By Bike
A cycle journey through the 'green heart' of Italy, from the enchanting city of Florence to the nations capital Rome.
The contrasts are very noticeable as you leave behind Tuscany and arrive in the peaceful, mystical and sometimes unexplored Umbria.
During the approx. 210 km of cycling you will see cities like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and Terni, displaying an incredible wealth of art treasures, which take their visitors back to the Middle Ages.
The cities have barely changed over the centuries and the rolling landscape dotted with vineyards and hill top towns will give you an appreciation of why the area is so popular with painters.
On mostly back roads the route winds through the valleys of the Apennines and gentle hills near to Trasimeno Lake.
At the end, the Eternal City of Rome awaits you, a fitting end to this exhilarating Italian journey by bike.
