Siena, a land of cycling

Cycling through history

Where cycling feels at home

The roads that cross Siena and its surrounding countryside are not just cycling routes: they are places shaped by effort, character and history. It was on these roads that Gino Bartali grew up—not only one of the greatest champions in cycling history, but also a man who embodied deep values such as integrity, courage and responsibility. Riding here means connecting with a story that goes far beyond victories and race results.

The hills around Siena have become world-famous thanks to events such as L’Eroica and Strade Bianche, races that have restored dignity and fascination to the origins of cycling. White gravel roads, rolling asphalt, demanding climbs and open landscapes have turned this area into an international reference point for those who love authentic cycling—made of dust, silence and ever-changing views.
Yet Siena’s cycling vocation was not born with events. It comes from the roads themselves and from the people who have ridden them for generations. Roads designed to connect villages and farms, never meant for speed, but perfect for riding. Here, the relationship between rider, bicycle and land feels natural and inevitable.
Today, cycling on the roads of Siena means living a complete experience: spectacular panoramas, beautiful routes, a deep cycling culture and a community that understands and respects cycling. It is this unique combination of landscape, history, people and events that makes this area one of the most authentic and fascinating cycling destinations in the world.
