Shortly afterwards you will be on your up to date e-bike riding along the famous Arno River to a vista point from which you gain such a fantastic sight over the city: Piazzale Michelangelo. Once you are cycling through the nice, tree lined Viale dei Colli - laid out in 1865 when Florence was made the capital of the new founded Kingdom of Italy, you will get a first touch of the Tuscan flair and therefore an unique sense of well-being. Well, your journey would not be complete without first taking in some beautiful souvenir photos at some of the world-famous landmarks before finishing off in the Chianti region.

Travel through the calm Tuscan countryside washes over loose olive groves and vineyards rising above the forests and cultivated fields and past castles, medieval hamlets, and monasteries on serene walks among olive groves and vineyards also dipping into the terracotta hue of the buildings and always smelling naturally. What’s more, you can also learn about the history of architecture by just going through all those sorts of building styles. Witnessing such an experience!

Discover a charming winery and enjoy a Tuscan lunch

Find an olive oil mill inside a historical noble estate in which a combination of both ancient and modern environments can be felt. Join a guided tour to the facilities-and you will understand-it’s not that simple but interesting. A tasting of their exquisite gourmet olive oil is recommended as the incalculable flavors will tell you what degree of commitment and skill they work with.
