Florentine cuisine is rustic yet elegant, celebrating simple ingredients elevated by tradition. Here are three dishes that bring the spirit of Tuscany to the table.
What to pack for Florence
The best time for Florence tours is spring (April–June) and fall (September–October), when the weather is pleasant and crowds are lighter than in summer. These shoulder seasons make trips to Florence ideal for exploring the city’s Renaissance treasures and enjoying outdoor dining without the summer heat.
Florence has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. July and August can reach 90°F, while winter averages around 50°F. If you’re planning a tour to Florence in summer, pack for heat and busy crowds, while spring and fall trips to Florence offer more comfortable conditions.
Like the rest of Italy, Florence uses the Euro (€). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but carrying small amounts of cash can be helpful in markets, taxis, or for tipping during Florence vacations.
In Florence and across Italy, the standard plug is type C, F, or L with 230V supply. If you’re traveling to Florence from the US, Australia, or UK, you’ll need a travel adapter for your electronics on your Florence trip.

Most travelers find 2–3 days is enough for a trip to Florence, covering highlights like the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio. Many Florence tours also combine the city with Tuscany day trips, so 4–5 days offers a more relaxed pace.
