Tuscan countryside bursts with poppies and wisteria while Florence warms to 14-18°C. The Uffizi and Accademia are busy but manageable. Perfect for Chianti wine country day trips.
Hot (23-26°C) and very crowded. The Uffizi queue can stretch for hours. Escape the heat with gelato breaks and evening walks along the Arno. The Calcio Storico in June is unique.
September brings warmth (21°C) without summer crowds. October is harvest season in Chianti — wine tasting, truffle hunting, and golden Tuscan light. November is rainy but atmospheric.
Cold and quiet (6-11°C). Museums without crowds transform the experience — actually seeing the art rather than peering over heads. Christmas in Florence is intimate and local.
