Search by dateFlorence at a glance
Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance: the Duomo, the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio in a centre you can walk. All around, Tuscany offers vineyard hills, medieval villages and simple, delicious food.
Practical tips
- Book the Uffizi, the Accademia and the dome in advance.
- For the hills choose a tour with a driver or by e-bike: roads are narrow.
- Try a Tuscan cooking class: fresh pasta and home recipes.
When to go
April to October; the grape harvest in September is the best time for wineries.
