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.

Ponte Vecchio is a historic bridge over the Arno River in Florence, known for its picturesque and romantic views. The bridge has been a part of Florence's skyline since the 1300s, and it has survived floods, wars, and even destruction attempts.

Ponte Vecchio is a popular attraction due to its unique architecture and its reputation as a romantic spot for lovers.

What sets Ponte Vecchio apart from other bridges in Florence is the presence of shops on both sides of the bridge. The bridge is lined with jewelry stores, art galleries, and souvenir shops, making it an ideal place to shop for a special gift or souvenir. Ponte Vecchio also offers stunning views of the Arno River and the surrounding city, making it a great spot for taking photographs or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll.
