Florence in June

When to go

June in Florence opens with the national Republic Day holiday, and the city's official tourism site places the final of the Calcio Storico on the feast of its patron saint, Saint John the Baptist, with the evening ending in fireworks launched from Piazzale Michelangelo. The climate normals listed here give warm highs and some rain days, so check a forecast closer to your dates. If you plan to visit the Uffizi Galleries on a free-admission Sunday, note that reservations are not taken on those days.
