🗓️ Florence Through the Year
Florence experiences hot, humid summers and cool, wet winters. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures ideal for sightseeing. The city transforms with each season, from vibrant greenery in spring to rich autumnal colours.
Festivals and events worth timing your visit
Explore the Scoppio del Carro (Explosion of the Cart) during Easter for a unique Florentine tradition in April. In June, celebrate the Festa di San Giovanni (Feast of Saint John), the city's patron saint, with historical parades and fireworks.
What to pack
For summer, pack light cotton clothes, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes are a must year-round. Don't forget an umbrella or raincoat if visiting during the spring or fall.
Saving money
The shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October generally offer lower prices on flights and accommodations. Look for 'agriturismo' options outside the city center for more affordable lodging.
