Loop route around Florence and in the protected natural area of Monte Ceceri

A ring tour of incredible beauty around the historic sites of Monte Ceceri and Fiesole for a not-to-be-missed appointment to discover some of the most beautiful places in the entire Florentine hills area, where history, landscape and legend know how to merge into an harmony of suggestions unique in the world.

We will walk through historic quarry streets to reach the mythical Vipsul, the Fiesole with Etruscan walls.

We will admire the view from the Convent of San Francesco and pause in Piazza Mino da Fiesole. Afterward we will immerse ourselves in a sensory experience through the views of Monte Ceceri, evoking between history and legend Leonardo Da Vinci's early experiments on the Flight of the Kite, the impressive quarry fronts and the mysterious legend of Vincigliata Castle.  

The highlights we will visit in this proposal:

  • The Quarries of Maiano
  • The historic Fiesole
  • The panorama from Monte Ceceri
  • Leonardo Da Vinci's Flight of the Kite  ("Il Volo del Nibbio")

The tour will take place on Tuesdays from September 12 to October 31 at 9:30 a.m. or at other times upon request
