Florence caters for addicts of caffeine, good food and wine, expensive shoes and cherubs. Walking and cycling is about as pumped-up as it gets.
If you're desperate for a leg stretch and a bit of fresh air, a stroll around the Giardino di Boboli is recommended - the views from here are magnificent.
You can take full- and half-day mountain bike tours of the countryside around Florence, or rent a bike and tangle with the traffic in town.
