Thinking about Florence but not the crowds?

February brings a slower pace, easier sightseeing, and a very different experience than peak season.

Planning a Florence trip in 2026?

The city has approved new rules around outdoor seating in parts of the historic center. This isn’t a ban on outdoor dining — it’s about where tables are allowed, especially on narrow streets.
