Florence's setting and climate
Florence sits in the Arno basin between surrounding hills, a sheltered position associated with hot summers, cool damp winters and limited prevailing wind.
Why go
The landscape explains both the city's views and its seasonal feel. Hills at Fiesole, Settignano, Arcetri and Bellosguardo frame the Arno basin, while the relatively sheltered setting can intensify summer heat. Use that geography when choosing viewpoints and pacing long walks through the centre.
