Climate and Weather
Florence has the same climate like any other part of Europe. This means that you will be able to enjoy your time in Spring (March-May) or even in fall (September – mid November)
The summer also brings too much crowds, however the springtime is also crowded. The winter is chill however not brutally cold. Sometime it may snow however not with high intensity and it is the time that there are few people in Florence.
The autumn can be a favorite time for most of people and it is not crowded as it was in springtime, the weather is still nice and pretty. This is the best time for Tuscan cuisine since Tuscans are hunter and gatherers.
