Florence and Horseback Riding: what to know
Just minutes from Florence are several horseback rides, suitable for outings with friends, family or couples.
The Rignano sull'Arno area offers splendid horseback rides amid vineyards. Alternatively, for horseback rides farther from the city, you need to travel to the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Versilia, or the Val d'Orcia and Val d'Elsa.
Horseback rides vary in duration: they range from about 1h up to half a day. The price of a horseback ride around Florence varies, but it is around 35€ per hour. Some stables give the option of combining the horseback ride with a convenient farm lunch, such as this ride in San Gimignano.
These are very enjoyable rides suitable even for beginners, so no prior equestrian experience is necessary.
