Cycle tour from Florence to Rome

Day 1: Individual arrival in Florence

Founded by Julius Caesar, the artistic and architectural heritage of the capital of Tuscany can be felt on every corner in Florence. Feel it with us! After the information meeting at the hotel, grab your bike or rental bike and explore the city. As well as visiting the imposing Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, it's worth taking a breather in one of the many historic cafés and trattorias along the Arno.

Day 2: Florence – Passignano sul Trasimeno, approx. 60 km + train ride

Your cycle tour from Florence to Rome begins with a train ride to Arezzo. Treat yourself to a short stroll through the city, which is famous for its goldsmithing and arts and crafts. Cycle through the slightly hilly Val di Chiana to Lake Trasimeno. Passignano sul Trasimeno is where you will spend the night today. Not far from the place where Hannibal once fought against the Romans, it is worth taking a boat trip to the island Isola Maggiore.

Day 3: Passignano sul Trasimeno – Perugia, approx. 35 km

Today, the route continues along Lake Trasimeno through hilly landscapes to Perugia. The capital of Umbria is one of the oldest cities in Italy. Situated on a hill, the fortress-like cityscape can be seen from afar. The narrow streets of the old town lead you to interesting museums such as the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria and to impressive palaces and churches. Try Perugia's export hit, the Baci Perugina – a praline filled with a whole hazelnut.

Day 4: Perugia – Assisi, approx. 30 km

You cross the Tiber not far from Perugia and cycle to Assisi today. Situated at the foot of Monte Subasio, the town is the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi and is now a world-famous pilgrimage site. The richly decorated Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi, built in his honor, and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, one of the largest churches in the world, are well worth a visit. Outside the city, you can explore the Eremo delle Carceri. The small monastery building in a forest gorge is still inhabited by Franciscan monks and can be visited. Enjoy the tranquillity of this place before setting off the next day on the cycle tour from Florence to Rome to lively Spoleto.

Day 5: Assisi – Spoleto, approx. 55 km

On your way to Spoleto, you will pass the small towns of Spello and Foligno. Both towns impress with their rich artistic treasures and are ideal for a short break. Situated on a hillside, the town of Spoleto impresses with its sand-colored facades and the Rocca Albornoziana, a mighty castle that towers over the town. The Ponte delle Torri (bridge of towers) connects it with Fortilizio dei Mulini, a ruined castle. Enjoy the view of the city, which extends as far as Assisi when visibility is good.

Day 6: Spoleto – Narni, approx. 45 km

Today's stage on the cycle tour from Florence to Rome takes you to Terni. Not far from the town is one of the highest waterfalls in Europe, the Cascata delle Marmore. Five footpaths offer the opportunity to view the waterfall from different perspectives. Once in Terni, visit the amphitheater and the Pinacoteca, which exhibits works by old masters. Your stage destination of Narni is not far from the geographical center of Italy. Take part in a tour through Narni's underworld or treat yourself to a Montefalco Sagrantino, a dry red wine from the region, in Piazza Garibaldi.

Day 7: Narni – Rome, approx. 60 km + train ride

After leaving Narni behind you, cycle via Calvi dell'Umbria through the Sabine Hills to Poggio Mirteto. Here you return your rental bikes, collect your luggage and travel comfortably to Rome by train. Roma aeterna, the Eternal City, awaits you with its thousands of years of history and unique art treasures. The world-famous Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum are just some of the countless sights. A short stopover at the Spanish Steps is well worthwhile. Watch the hustle and bustle while you enjoy a caffè.
