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.

The Rolling Hills of Dolce Vita

Tuscany – The Rolling Hills of Dolce Vita

The Boboli Gardens are a stunning oasis filled with winding paths, beautiful fountains, and breathtaking views of the city. This magnificent park, which stretches over 111 acres, was originally created for the Medici family in the 16th century and was later expanded by the Lorraine family.

The gardens are filled with an array of sculptures, including works by renowned artists such as Giambologna, Michelangelo, and Ammannati. The most famous statue is the Fountain of Neptune, which is located in the center of the gardens and was created by Bartolomeo Ammannati in the 16th century.

One of the most spectacular features of the gardens is the breathtaking view of Florence that can be seen from the top of the hill. You can take a leisurely stroll along the winding paths, relax on one of the many benches, or enjoy a picnic in the shade of the trees.

With its tranquil atmosphere and stunning beauty, the Boboli Gardens are a great place to take in the Florence vibes.
