The city
§ I
A destination worth the flight.

Choosing when to visit Florence matters more than most people realise. Two travellers arriving three months apart can have entirely different experiences — different temperatures, different crowds, different photographs. A place best understood one month at a time.

We've computed the “best” and “avoid” months for Florence from ten years of historical weather data. The verdict considers temperature comfort, rainfall, and daily sunshine hours — the metrics that actually change how a trip feels on the ground. For Florence, we point you toward March, April, June.
