5 REASONS TO VISIT TUSCANY

FlorenceCapital of Tuscany, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From museums and art galleries to Middle Age and Renaissance architecture, there are plenty of things to do and see in Florence. Make sure to spend some time in Florence during your bike tour in Tuscany!
Chianti wine The Italian wine and the Tuscany wine in particular, is one of the best in the world. While in Tuscany, take the opportunity to go on a Chianti wine tour. The vineyards of the Chianti region are perfect for a bike ride: just cycle along and enjoy the sunshine and the good wine!
SienaLocated in the center of Tuscany it is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site! Siena is famous for its horse race, the Palio, a medieval tradition that takes place right in the center of the old town in early July and Mid August. The entire town has a very strong medieval influence with its old narrow streets and just as Florence, it is filled with art work from the Renaissance.
Tuscan countrysideWhether crowned by timeless villages, covered by vineyards and olive groves or strewn with wildflowers, the hills of Tuscany have one thing in common: they're perfect for exploring on bikes. Pedal to lofty hill towns, spin through broad valleys and follow sinuous country roads past cypress-lined lanes and quiet woodland.
Tuscan gastronomy Well known for its wine, Tuscany will also enchant you with its cuisine. The Tuscan gastronomy is one of the best in Italy and as different as the Tuscany landscapes itself. There are the typical recipees from the countryside and the Mediterranean recipees straight from the coast of Tuscany. Try the ribollita - a vegetable and bread soup - or the panzanella – a bread, tomatoes and onion salad topped with olive oil. Don’t miss out on the local cheese: the famous pecorino. And treat yourself to a few Cantucci (almond cookies) dipped in wine; well-deserved treat after cycling through the vineyards!

These buildings are where they produced milk, cream, butter and cheese.
