Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Outdoor Activities

May 5, 2022 Harland Bartelt

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Riding with Cosimo

After years of visiting my daughter here, my wife and I moved here. I am offering cycling tours to share the love of the incredible cycling available in the area. Cycling here has turned me into a dedicated road cyclist after years spent mostly mountain biking. The roads available here are so fun to ride with great scenery, excellent surfaces, opportunities to stop for panini or a cafe, simply enjoy life on a bicycle. I take out small groups of 1 to 4 people on cycling tours from Florence. I customize every tour for the desires and fitness level of the clients. Come to Florence and we can explore the Chianti wine country, the wild area of the Mugello, or the birth place of Leonardo da Vinci, among other options. We can do a single day or many days in a row without repeating a ride. Let's ride!

Knowleggi Car & Scooter Rental

Reviewed By inaa290

It was a little scary to book with them because we've never heard of them before and we made our booking only by whatsapp and email, but everything went smoothly with our booking. Their instructions were spot on, we didn't get any extra charges from driving around ZTL. They gave us the paperwork, provided driving instructions on avoiding ZTL, and walked us to the garage (which also housed all the other rental companies). So pleasantly surprised to not hear from them again after returning their car.
