Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Bologna, renowned for its iconic towers and the prestigious University of Bologna, the oldest in the world. As you cycle through the picturesque Emilia-Romagna region, be prepared to be mesmerized by the rolling hills and lush vineyards that characterize the landscape. Be sure to pause at a local trattoria to indulge in a comforting bowl of tortellini in broth or a hearty serving of authentic ragù alla bolognese.

Discover Pistoia’s hidden charm with its majestic cathedral, soaring bell tower in Piazza del Duomo, and lively market featuring “pan di Pistoia” and regional cheeses; continue to Lucca, encircled by well-preserved Renaissance walls that offer breathtaking views as you wander cobbled streets, climb the Guinigi Tower topped with ancient trees, and savor vin santo with cantucci while sampling the city’s renowned olive oil; then arrive in Pisa to marvel at the iconic Leaning Tower and the awe-inspiring Piazza dei Miracoli, explore the Santa Maria district for a savory “cecina,” and admire medieval and Renaissance art at the National Museum of San Matteo. Along the way, immerse yourself in Tuscan traditions, culture, and culinary delights for a cycling adventure that nourishes both body and soul.
