    Florence Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Florence

    Florence boasts a typical Italian climate, with May to September ushering in the warmest weather. The peak summer months of July and August see the temperature soar into the early 30s, while April, May and late September keep things a little cooler with an average of 20°C. If you want to avoid the crowds, hit the city between November and March. You’ll want to layer up, but the queues are non-existent and there’s more time to explore Florence’s many galleries and museums without fighting for viewing space.

    Passports & Visas

    British passport holders don’t need a visa to enter Italy but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Italy using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit the FCDO website.


    Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

    Health & Safety

    You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Italian nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit the NHS website for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit the FCDO website.
