About Florence

Florence is the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, which already deems it to be absolutely beautiful and romantic. Whether you are standing in the middle of the city looking at the beautiful river Arno or are on Piazzale Michelangelo looking over the picture-perfect, the views are just breath-taking.

But not only is it perfect for couples, it’s also perfect for kids and families too, as there are many family-friends tours like safari and medieval ones for groups of all ages, and many other indoor and outdoor activities.

Because Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance, there are plenty of historical sites to see as well as many masterpieces of Renaissance art, such as the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome and a bell tower, the Galleria dell’Accademia which displays Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery which exhibits Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.”

Florence is also famous for its food and wine culture. Don’t forget to visit the famous Florence food markets to enjoy the true essence of Tuscan cooking and taste the freshness of the products involved in cooking.

When is the Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit is mid-April through mid-May. This is when the temperature is not too hot but rather warm and pleasant. The temperature is around 24°C (75 °F). This time is ideal for open-air dining and casual walks.

Moreover, you will enjoy the finest art and music festivals during this time and get to know the true Italian culture, tradition, and living style. Other than this, Florence in October is also worth a visit.
