Florence has a warm but temperate and continental climate, much like the rest of northern Italy.

It has hot, dry summers and cool, damp winters. Florence looks awfully pretty, though , including scenes in the cemetery and church of San Miniato, the Boboli Gardens and a short glance of the old standby Piazza SS Annunziata. Entertaining enough if you are not really expecting too much.

Florence is a small town of roughly 450 thousand folk thus the historic centre is comparatively little and nearly all of the major attractions are inside walking distance of one another i.e. The main train line station in Florence is Santa Maria Short story which is found in downtown Florence only a ten minute walk from the town’s main square which has the previously mentioned Duomo and Bell Tower.

Italy is a country of many contrasts, beautiful things and romantic gestures. It is also a country where good taste in clothing and gastronomy is a pre requisite to day to day life. Florence ( Firenze ) is the regional capital of Tuscany, in the centre of Italy. A city with a turbulent and action-packed history, Florence is now packed with holiday makers being shepherded round the town’s museums.
