Romantic Florence is a history buff’s dream. The capital of undulating Tuscany, the city is regarded as the birthplace of the Renaissance and is packed with museums and fine art – you’ll find the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi Gallery and Michelangelo’s David in the Galleria dell’Accademia. Climb to the top of Brunelleschi’s Duomo or Giotto’s Campanile for arresting views over Dante’s city and the countryside beyond.

When to travel
Florence is a year-round destination, with mild winters and hot, humid summers when its streets are packed with tourists. Sightseeing is best during spring and autumn as it can get chilly between November and March, and if you want to visit the wider region of Tuscany you’ll find it stays pleasant into the later half of autumn.
WEATHER: Florence’s ancient streets are ideal for city breaks year round, with mild and sometimes cold winters and hot summers.
