Questions and answers about your cycling holiday in Tuscany

Our cycling tours in Tuscany are mainly for experienced, passionate cyclists who also like to go on a cycling tour including several climbs in their free time at home. Because our tours are assigned to the difficulty level challenging or athletic.

Pizza, pasta and vino! You can find this delicious combination all over Italy. But Tuscany is also known for its delicious meat, game and fish variations. One dish that is famous far beyond its borders is bistecca alla Fiorentina. A T-bone steak from Chianina beef. Even though it is not too cheap, meat lovers should definitely not miss this speciality.

The best time to visit Tuscany is from April to October.

Cycle paths in Tuscany

Admittedly, there are only a few official cycle paths in Italy south of Lake Garda. Of course, this isn’t a problem for Eurobike! We are masters of finding the most beautiful low traffic cycle paths and routes for you. Low-traffic side roads and freight roads lead you to your destination. And that’s exactly what makes Tuscan cycle tours so special: they take you right through small villages full of character, through fields and along rivers! Pure romance!

The Tuscan climate

How do you imagine the weather in Tuscany? Warm and sunny, right? That’s not a cliché. In general, in a Tuscan spring the sun shines for up to 8 hours a day. From April, it often gets pleasantly warm. Then the temperatures are around 18-19 degrees Celsius. In summer we recommend setting off in the early morning then taking a break, as the thermometer can quickly reach above the 30 degree mark. The autumn months provide the best cycling weather! On the Tuscan coast you can often swim in the sea until October! But don’t be disappointed if it rains – because it’s possible at any time! But on the most part the sun will shine the next day, or even a short while later!

Tuscany’s famous cuisine

The Tuscan cuisine is a very down to earth, simple and nutritious cuisine. It is still very much influenced by rural traditions. So it isn’t surprising that you can still find rustic food historically eaten by poorer people. The main dishes are cooked with lots of meat, especially game, and of course with fish. Tuscany is famous internationally for products such as olive oil, wine (especially red), pecorino (hard sheep cheese) and moreish Lardo di Colonnata (cured pork fat). Discover some specialities of the Tuscan cuisine here!
