Florence to Rome
Explore a different side of Italy with us—tranquil, almost mystical! Cycle from Florence to Rome and discover the hidden gems of Italy’s heartland. This tour takes you through timeless cities like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto, and Narni, each brimming with incredible art treasures that transport you back to the Middle Ages. These cities have preserved their historic charm, set against a backdrop of harmonious and inviting landscapes.
Pedal along quiet, secluded roads through the scenic valleys of the Apennines, past the rolling hills of Lake Trasimeno, and through the peaceful solitude of small Umbrian villages. Along the way, you’ll encounter rushing rivers, breathtaking gorges, and the serene sight of sheep grazing in the countryside. Cycling is the perfect way to explore this enchanting region, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in its natural beauty and rich history.
As your journey culminates, the “Eternal City” of Rome will greet you with its vibrant energy. After a rewarding ride, there’s no better way to unwind than by setting your bike aside to savour a cappuccino or a glass of fine red wine in one of Rome’s charming piazzas. Experience Italy like never before—on two wheels!
2027 launch offer: £50 per person off all 2027 departure dates!
Itinerary
Tour briefing and distribution of the rental bikes. We recommend that you visit Florence’s beautiful centre.
In the morning, you will take the train to Arezzo. There, you can visit the beautiful churches and palaces of the city of antiquities and gold. With your bike, you will cycle on beautiful trails through the vast plains of the Val di Chiana, constantly accompanied by hill and mountain silhouettes of southern Tuscany. You will pass Cortona, and you will finally get to Lake Trasimeno, the battlefield of Hannibal against the Romans. Moreover, you will have a gorgeous view of Lake Trasimeno. Tonight, you will spend the night in Passignano.
You will cycle along the lake to Torricella. From there, you will continue through open fields, rolling hills and idyllic places to Perugia. Stroll through one of the nicest shopping streets of Italy to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the Palazzo dei Priori, or the Arco Etrusco… the Umbrian capital will fascinate you!
After having crossed the river Tiber, it is only a few kilometres by bike to the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi. However, before you cycle up to the mystical city, you will take a trip to one of the most beautiful sanctuaries of Umbria: S. M. degli Angeli! In Assisi, you can immerse yourself in the colourful world of medieval frescoes by Giotto.
Your way leads you along the foot of the mighty Mount Subasio to the still entirely preserved medieval town of Spello. Afterwards, you will continue through the Valle Umbra to Spoleto. Cities, such as Montefalco, Trevi, and Campello, can be seen on the surrounding hills. From the more than 80 m high aqueduct, you can enjoy a vertiginous view of the Tessino Canyon, Mount Luco, and the Rocca Albornoz (papal fortress).
Between mountains, accompanied by the beautiful countryside, you will cycle to Terni and further to Narni. Do you want to treat yourself? Terni is known for its excellent pastries and for having the most creative cuisine of the region! Narni and its medieval streets will take you back to ancient times.
In the middle of the green heart of Umbria, you will pass huge mountains until you reach Calvi, the last major town in this region. You can still enjoy the quiet and solitude of the Sabine mountains before you take the train to immerse yourself in the vibrant city of Rome.
