Peak Season

APRIL - JUNE

Best Experience
Feels LikeSpring
Temperature12 โ€” 27ยฐC

Florence's most desirable window โ€” gardens bloom, light is warm and golden, and the Arno runs full before the summer heat bakes the stone streets.

Shoulder Season

JULY - AUGUST

Budget Friendly
Feels LikeSummer
Temperature19 โ€” 35ยฐC

Peak crowds and punishing heat make midday in the historic centre exhausting, but museum queues move faster with advance booking and evenings on the hillside terraces remain worthwhile.

Shoulder Season

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER

Budget Friendly
Feels LikeAutumn
Temperature12 โ€” 24ยฐC

Crowds thin, Chianti harvest season draws food-focused travelers into the countryside, and the city's terracotta palette looks its best under October afternoon light.

Off Season

NOVEMBER - MARCH

Avoid
Feels LikeWinter
Temperature3 โ€” 13ยฐC

The Uffizi and Accademia are yours at a fraction of the summer wait; cold and damp, but locals reclaim the city and prices drop sharply across accommodation and restaurants.
