Summer in Florence

The Boboli Garden in Summer

The Boboli Garden in Summer

Summer in Florence is full of things to do, and "Ferragosto" (the tradition of taking off the last two weeks of August and closing everything down) is not as extreme as is used to be since many tourist focused businesses stay open to cater to the summer tourist throngs.

Our suggestions are mainly the Estate Fiesolana music festival, walks, gardens, eating gelato, and staying cool in dark churches or quiet museums. You can also take a day trip to the coast or may other surrounding towns, even outside of Tuscany (we recently updated our Day Trip to Milan article).
