When to go à FLORENCE - FIRENZE ?
The Tuscan climate varies depending on where you are: inland, it can be very hot in summer (Florence is one of the hottest cities in Italy) and, on the other hand, quite cold in winter (it often snows). The coastline enjoys a more moderate climate. In August, the Tuscan capital is deserted by Florentines who leave in search of a little coolness! It is advisable to visit Tuscany in spring or autumn.
Florence is known to be one of the hottest cities in Italy. In August, the thermometer rarely drops below 32°C in the afternoon. In winter temperatures remain always positive (3/11°C). The climate is very pleasant in April, May, June and September, October. These two periods correspond to the high tourist season in Florence.
It seems wise to avoid the hordes of tourists that invade this destination in September, the high tourist season. Florence loses its charm, hotel reservations are then mandatory and prices rise. July and August, the hottest months of the year, are less popular and even the locals leave the city to reach the coast. A number of shops and restaurants were then closed. In addition, the Italians also take their holidays in August. Cities are emptying and shops are closing. In winter it is cool, even cold, but there are far fewer tourists than the rest of the year and prices are falling significantly. The most pleasant months are April (although some rains) and May. October is also favourable. You can also choose the Easter holidays, which see the burning of the chariot (Scoppio del Carro), at the end of June to attend the Florentine calcio (a kind of spectacular football) in Piazza Santa Croce or on September 7 to enjoy the Rificolona with its lamps hanging in the windows and in the parades.

Discover FLORENCE - FIRENZE
At the heart of a cirque of hills interspersed with cypress trees, Florence, the Tuscan capital and city of art par excellence, continues to exert an unrivalled fascination on the collective imagination. Its marvels have stood the test of time, earning it the nickname Florence the Magnificent. Aesthetically, the Florentine city is an absolute and undisputed benchmark, inscribed on Unesco's World Heritage List. So, after being deprived of travel for so long, what better choice than Florence?
But Tuscany, between tradition and modernism, also boasts a strong identity, a dynamic diversified economy, refined craftsmanship, age-old festivities that are still very much alive today and, of course, world-renowned oeno-gastronomy. Here, we'd like to introduce you to all these different facets, not forgetting the modern Florence of the 21st century.
