Florence
With the arrival of autumn, Florence's colors are tinged with ochre hues and golden reflections, the earlier sunsets - compared to the pace of summer - mark a slower tempo that runs over the city, a prelude to winter and a mirror for the many ladies walking in fashionable raincoats on Ponte Vecchio.
Florence in autumn is the apotheosis of elegance, refined scents wafting through the slippery streets of the city center, the smell of roasted chestnuts, good wine, ancient customs and revisited traditions enlivening weekends in the city's many artistic and cultural centers, while all around the hills and hillsides are bathed in the intensity of ever-deepening colors.
But what to do in Florence in the fall? Let's find out together in this article.
October in the city: many events and initiatives to participate in
Treating yourself to a weekend in Florence in the Fall can be just a wonderful idea! In case you don't know where to go or what to do once you get there, here are two spontaneous and curious suggestions - but the alternatives would really be innumerable.
Grape harvest and winery tours. Enthusiasts of wine and food tourism just can't pass up a seasonal opportunity like this. Around Florence, in the Chianti region that has now become an international symbol and attraction for high quality and excellence of vineyards and bottles, there are many opportunities to organize winery mini-tours with grape harvest and tastings.
You will have the opportunity to touch the processes and workings leading up to bottling, often enjoying a relaxed and "home-like" atmosphere where guests/visitors are treated as part...of a big family.Walks through the historic center. Autumn is indeed an inviting season to discover the wonders of Florence by crossing it on foot. Of Italy's many beautiful cities, perhaps ours is one of the most favorable to discover on one's own two feet: the historic center, small enough in size, can be walked around comfortably even without using vehicles.
There's more: just walking from one side of the Arno to the other, you will be able to notice some unmissable hotspots, little known or impossible to unearth by riding a scooter or bicycle, such as the picturesque wine pits, whose peculiarity you will certainly not be able to ignore.
Art and culture...at your fingertips
And you, lovers and enthusiasts of Art History, but also of music, theater and cultural happenings, will surely be happy to know that in autumn some of the most unmissable fairs, events and initiatives of the year take place.
Theater and classical music concerts, local traditions to see at least once in a lifetime, contemporary art openings, in short...you name it.
At the front desk of our hotel we will be very pleased to be able to provide you with brochures and flyers of the many initiatives in town during September and October, or to direct you to the best place according to your tastes.
All you have to do, then, is to bring with you here to Florence your spirit of adventure and the curiosity of someone entering a magical place for the first time: we will take care of the rest. You will not regret it. Happy Fall travelers.
