Stride and Ride across

Europe

Hiking and biking aren't just modes of transportation in Europe, they're some of the best ways to experience the magic of this incredible continent. Instead of landmarks passing a bus window in a blur, imagine winding your way through rustic villages on two wheels, or following centuries-old footpaths that lead to mountain views, wildflower meadows, or even grape-filled vineyards. Active travel, including walking, hiking, and biking, lets you connect with Europe in a way that feels deeply immersive and satisfying.
 

Lace up your hiking books or grab your bike helmet and explore some of the best active tours of Europe.

Walk Tuscany’s Vineyards and Hill Towns

Rolling hills, white gravel pathways, cypress-lined roads, and plenty of fantastic vineyards make Tuscany hiking a dream. Along the way, you can pause in medieval towns like Siena and San Gimignano, where cobbled streets and towers tell stories of centuries past, or spend time in Florence, the Renaissance city that has inspired artists for generations.
 

After a day on the trail, there are plenty of opportunities to reward yourself with a glass of Chianti and a hearty Tuscan meal, making for an active trip that is the perfect blend of effort and indulgence.
