Florence FAQ

What is the best month to visit Florence, Italy?
The best months to visit Florence are generally the shoulder seasons of April, May, September, and October, offering pleasant weather and moderate crowds. While summer (June–August) provides long, sunny days and festivals, it brings intense heat and large crowds. The winter months (November–March) are the least crowded, ideal for indoor attractions and holiday markets, but can be cold with shorter days.
How many days is enough in Florence?
You should plan to spend 3 to 4 days in Florence to see the major highlights and get a good feel for the city. A short visit of 1-2 days is possible for a quick overview, while 5 or more days allows for more in-depth exploration, including day trips to the surrounding Tuscan countryside.
Can I wear jeans in Florence?
Yes, you can wear jeans in Florence; Italians, especially younger people, wear them year-round, particularly well-fitting, dark-wash, or designer jeans. For a polished look that blends in, pair your jeans with a nice top, a collared shirt for men, or stylish sneakers. Avoid distressed, ripped, or overtly casual jeans, especially for evenings, and pack some non-denim options like chinos or dresses for more formal settings or to comply with church dress codes.
What should I know before going to Florence, Italy?
Florence is best explored on foot. If coming by train or taking a trip to Pisa, validate your train ticket. Florence isn't as expensive as many assume. It is highly recommended to pre-book your visits to major museums to avoid long queues. Going inside the Duomo can offer a welcome escape from the crowds.
What are the must-see attractions in Florence?
The absolute must-sees in Florence include the iconic Duomo (Florence Cathedral), the magnificent Accademia Gallery to witness Michelangelo's David, and the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge. The Uffizi Gallery is also a top priority for art lovers, housing masterpieces from the Renaissance.
