Partner blogger ArtTrav discusses the possibility of urban hiking from Florence to Maiano. Discovering the many delights of Florence on foot is de rigueur, so a hike to nearby Maiano sounds like pretty good fun too.
Walking in Florence, by Miles Heller
The free and healthy activity is a two-hour walk from the end of via Lungo l’Affrico in Campo di Marte (reachable by bus no17) through fields and up to Maiano, then returning in the Coverciano direction. This walk does not require incredible amounts of fitness.
An excellent interactive map of the walk is provided in the original article and the walk takes you through both interesting urban terrain and unspoilt Florentine countryside.
The Fattoria di Maiano and its restaurant are recommended as a mid-way stop, unless you’ve already packed your own food. A Romanesque church, the cave di Maiano with a climbing wall and several additional hiking trails in the general direction of Fiesole are also discussed as further possibilities.
Some recommendations are also made for the return walk.
If you’re in the Florence area, you may also wish to visit one of Italy’s most lovely gardens.
