The Worlds Best Cycling - Tuscany

Tuscany is a region in the North Western part of Italy that is best known for its wines and the cultural heritage of its capital, Florence. The region's picturesque landscapes with its castles and vineyards have also made Tuscany an extremely popular cycling destination. One way to experience this is to participate in the "cyclotouristic" rally called L'Eroica - another is to join a tour with one of the many specialized cycle tour operators in the region.

"Tuscany offers an ideal scenario for cycling enthusiasts of all levels, from amateur cyclists to anyone just wishing to pedal calmly while enjoying the beauty of the region. For your adventure on two wheels, choose from a variety of itineraries. On paved road for anyone who loves racing bikes or off road on mountain bikes to get away from traffic and be surrounded by nature. Every area in Tuscany offers routes rich in interesting places to visit and see as well as extraordinary panoramas." (Discovertuscany.com)
