Discover the hills above Florence with an easy and charming hike, suitable for everyone. A walk that combines nature, history, and legend, through olive groves, countryside, and breathtaking views over the city of Florence.
We will start from Fiesole (easily reachable from the center of Florence in just 10 minutes by bus) and walk along paths that tell centuries of stories: the Maiano estate and the Monte Ceceri Natural Park. Right here, where stone was once quarried and carved by stonemasons, Leonardo da Vinci tested his incredible flying machine. We will stand at the exact spot of the first human flight in history: a place that blends myth, genius, and landscape.
The hike will end with a traditional Italian aperitivo in the countryside: a convivial moment to taste local products and raise a glass together after the adventure.
