Cascine Park, Florence

Highlight • Forest

The park covers over 130 hectares, with more than 19,000 tree species. It's an idyllic spot for birdwatching, and in addition to the more common birds, you can spot gray herons and little egrets. This land was first purchased by Alessandro I de' Medici and later expanded by Cosimo I.

Basilica di Santa Maria Novella

Highlight • Religious Site

At 200 meters from the main railway station of Florence is the basilica of Santa Maria Novella, one of the most important churches in the city. In addition to being extremely picturesque, it was also the reference point of the Dominican order. The square could be very crowded, so I recommend that you carry your bicycle by hand.

Fiesole, located in the hills northeast of Florence, offers breathtaking views of the city and is renowned for its ancient Etruscan and Roman origins. Its archaeological heritage, including a well-preserved Roman theater, testifies to its historical importance as a settlement pre-existing Florence.

Florence - City Trip (23.2 km)

The start and finish is the gentle climb to Fiesole, the site of the 2013 World Championships. The route takes you down the climb through the streets and alleys of the still largely dormant city before you head back to Fiesole, where we started, for the final, fairly easy climb.
