Things to do

Sightseeing near vacation rentals in Florence

With such a tremendous supply of cathedrals, palaces, and museums, it's no wonder the entire city center is a historical landmark. Start your sightseeing excursion at the Galleria degli Uffizi if you're interested in the Italian Renaissance. It has the world's greatest collection of art from this era, and is conveniently located in the same neighborhood as Palazzo Vecchio, a fortress designed in the 14th century. The city's most iconic landmark is its duomo (cathedral), adjacent to the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and topped by its beautiful cupola, or dome, that offers a stairway climb past stained-glass windows to a breathtaking view of the city.

Weather

Local weather in Florence for your stay in vacation rentals

The subtropical climate of Florence brings hot summers and cool winters, and it draws the most visitors between May and September, when brilliant sunny days are common and open-air dining is de rigueur. Early spring and late fall are good options, too, when average temps cool down to the 60s and 70s and crowds thin out. For a true steal on a Florence vacation rental, plan your trip between November and March. You'll have the run of the city, but remember to bring rain gear and your winter coat.

Right in the city is Cascine Park, 400 acres that include an amphitheater and an ice house, but that also make room for 19,000 trees. Animal lovers can head to the hills surrounding the city to wander the lush Tuscan woods or go on a truffle-hunting expedition, and birdwatchers can hope to spot tawny owls, ring ouzel, and the rare glossy ibis.
