Italy on a budget: walk from Bologna to Florence!
Giorgia Alessio Verni
Available for hire
Are you looking for an original way to explore Italy? Do you like hiking for multiple days and meeting new people? If so, you should definitely go on "Via Degli Dei", an amazing 5-days-adventure on the Apennines, starting in Bologna and ending in Florence (or the other way around!). During the hike you will get to see Italy in a unique way, rediscovering yourself while enjoying the calmness of nature... Before and after you will have the opportunity to:
- Explore the region that gave birth to lasagna, "bolognese sauce" and cappelletti
- Visit Florence, see the Leaning Tower of Pisa and taste some amazing wine
- Go on one-day-trips with high speed trains to other unique destinations like Venice, Milan, Pisa and many more

The HIKE - from Bologna to Florence
Following the original path of Via degli Dei the distance between the two cities is around 84 miles, which breaks down into 17 miles/day for 5 days. Even though it doesn't sound like much the elevation gain and the elevation loss are very significant and you shouldn't underestimate it! On top of that, if you decide to hike the trail during the summer, remember water sources might be scarce and the temperatures can be around 95°F.
Find at the bottom the details to book your stay on the hike :)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Italian curious traveller - discovering new places is my favorite hobby!
My name is Giorgia, I grew up in Italy and spent my whole childhood travelling around with my family. After high school I got the opportunity to go study in the US while being on a softball scholarship and of course I had to take it :) I spent two years there, until last summer I decided to follow my dreams and share my passion for travelling with others - I am now a licensed tour leader in Italy and I studied travel designing to prepare custom itineraries!
I love both city sightseeing and hiking (with my dog), so I like trips that combine those two things. I believe Italy in particular has a lot of undiscovered natural beauties, which deserve attention as much as the big cities.
If you like discovering a country through its cities, but you also want the chance to explore it from a different point of view, you are in the right place!
