Tuscany encompasses
many diverse terrains and landscapes and the rules change
from one zone to the next.
When to Go: The main tourist
season in Italy and tuscany runs from mid-April to the end
of September. The best time to visit Italy nad tuscany is
the slower season, from April to June and in September/October,
when the weather is usually good, the prices are lower and
there are fewer tourists. Foreign tourists crowd the major
cities at Easter, when Italians flock to resorts and the
countryside. The weather is warm enough for beach visits
in most of the country from June to September but during
August (high season) it is very hot, prices are inflated
and a large number of businesses, including shops and restaurants
close down during that month as the owners are trying to
escape the crowds and the heat.
The best period in Tuscany
Most beautiful in May, September and October these are the
best months for escaping the heat and the crowds and to
enjoy the colorful of spring and autumn where days are still
warm and there's plenty of sunshine to enjoy. June, July
and August are the busiest, most expensive and hottest times
to travel. However, we’ve often found airline tickets
for only $500 in May and September. The weather is also
a pleasant 70 to 75 degrees then.

Weather & climate in Tuscany
In general the climate
in Tuscany is very mild. There are little differences between
the regions, though. Rule of thumb: at the coast and in the
valleys the summers are hotter than in the hilly areas, where
the climate is very continental – rain falls are more often. Usually
the summers in Tuscany are without rain and very hot, especially
in the valleys. Spring (april and may) and autumn (october
and november) might be rainy but there are still dry, sunny
days. In the winter there are sunny, mild days but at night
it sometimes gets very cold. July ist he hottest month
with temperatures from 23°C up to 30°C. Especially
in the valleys the teperatures sometimes rise up high.
In the coldest month – january- there are about 7°C
at the coast and about 3,5°C to 5,5°C inside the
country. Of course the temperature in the mountainious
areas is below.
Tourist season:
The main season is spring, summer and autumn, especially because the
landscape at that time of the year is very beautiful. For going seightseeing
the summer months are sometimes too hot and the museums and cities are overcrowded.
For sightseeing tours the winter month could be contemplated. During the last
years family vacations in Tuscany during the summer got more and more attractive.
