Except the superb landscapes offers Tuscany an enormous
cultural inheritance and countless art treasures. Almost
each city or village is worth a visit because of a
beautiful cathedral or church, the picturesque alleys,
the pleasant squares and the stately palaces.
You cycle through the
Chianti region, the best known area of Tuscany
with its sloping vineyards and characteristic upright
cypresses which mark the farm yards and small winding
roads.
One of the stage places is
Siena that still has a medieval atmosphere. A
city on the top of a hill, dominated by the silhouette
of the Duomo, where one can stroll around narrow alleys.
The journey continues through the landscape of "La Dolce
Vita" to Florence.
The Tuscan capital is a jewel of a city, one large
living art work and age-long embellished by artists. A
"must" for a rest day.
