38 reviews

This tour follows the Serchio river, where it takes its natural landscape, the bed broken by the water jumps, the bushy terraces with many varieties of birds. The Puccini cycle path (named from the famous composer Giacomo Puccini who was born in Lucca) connects the Serchio valley to Lucca, where we can admire the medieval towers and the “Rocca di Ripafratta”, reaching the ancient walls of Lucca. The path above the city walls offers a breathtaking view. Art, music, history, food, wine, Lucca is a source of incredible treasures. We will cycle through the narrow streets downtown where the towers stand out above the roofs. The Guinigi Tower with its hanging garden on the top; the ancient shops along via Fillungo, the squares of the Roman amphitheater and that of Napoleon, so enchanting! For a gourmet stop in Lucca, visitors are spoiled for choice: from cecina, to necci (chestnut pancake) with ricotta, buccellato, Lucchese soup, etc… We are sure you will enjoy all!

Things to Do

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to cycle around Pisa is from March to June and again in September and October, when the weather is milder. Summer afternoons can get uncomfortably hot, especially along the coast route, so plan accordingly. If you need to rent a bike, you’ll find options near Pisa Centrale station as well as at the San Rossore visitor centre, both convenient starting points. When taking a bike on the train, remember that it’s free during off-peak hours as long as you have a valid ticket; peak times may require a reservation or extra fee. For safety, avoid the SS1 coast road, which can be busy and hazardous for cyclists. Instead, use the dedicated cycle path along the Arno embankments, which provides a safer and more pleasant ride through the city’s outskirts. Keeping these tips in mind will help you get the most out of your cycling trip around Pisa without unnecessary risks or discomfort.
