Tuscany

While the weather in March is pretty unpredictable, April and May are great for visiting Tuscany. The weather is gorgeous, the hills are green, and the crowds have not yet arrived.

Spring

Summers get hot and crowdy in Tuscany, especially towards July and August. But if that doesn't scare you – Tuscan summers are beautiful with their constant clear skies and fresh produce. Try spending more time in the countryside, away from city crowds.

Summer

Tuscany is at its best in the fall. The grapes are harvested, the hills get their iconic shades of gold, the weather is not too hot anymore, and of course there are lesser crowds. Aim for mid-September to mid-October to get it perfect.

Fall

It is still possible to explore Tuscany in winter, but it gets quite cold and unpleasant. Also, most hotels in the countryside tend to shut down until March.

Tuscany – The Rolling Hills of Dolce Vita

Piazzale Michelangelo is a breathtaking terrace that provides panoramic views of Florence. Located just outside the city center on a hillside, the square is accessible by car or bus, and by walking up the stairs or taking an escalator from the San Niccolò neighborhood.

The piazzale was designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi in the late 19th century and is dedicated to Michelangelo Buonarroti, the famous Italian artist who lived in Florence during the Renaissance period.

Enjoy stunning views of the city, including the iconic red roofs of Florence's historic center, the Arno River, and the rolling hills beyond. The square is surrounded by beautiful gardens and features a bronze replica of Michelangelo's famous David statue.

At sunset, the piazzale is especially magical, with the sun casting a golden glow over the city.
