What to see in Florence in March 2025
Experience spring in Florence
Florence in March is a flower that shakes off the winter torpor, embracing the days that are once again lengthening, imprinting on the city’s austere statues a luminous and relaxed lightness.
It is one of the best months of the year to visit the cradle of the Renaissance, mingle with the Florentines and explore the delicate grace that cloaks every corner of the city-a synthesis of art, history and emotion that you can only find here.
