Ciao Florence! Skip the crowds and sizzling summer heat and head to this Tuscan gem in fall and winter when Florence shines in a whole new light. With international airfares dropping, FINALLY, now if a great time to go!
Autumn dazzles with postcard-worthy vineyard scenes as leaves turn golden amber against rolling hills. The grape harvest brings a festive buzz to the Chianti region along with satisfying seasonal cuisine. Savor just-pressed olive oil, hearty bean soups, and peels off the best pecorino as you wander through markets and hole-in-the-wall trattorias.
While winter days may be crisp, Florence glows under azure skies and pops with festive holiday spirit. Eye-catching nativity scenes adorn public squares as enchanting carols fill the air. Lines are nonexistent so you can leisurely stroll through jaw-dropping landmarks like the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery unencumbered.
At night, cozy up by a flickering fireplace as you dive into seasonal delights like truffle dishes, wild boar ragu, or vin brule. Ditch the crowds and immerse yourself in Florence’s most magical season.
