The best months to travel are generally from April until June and from September to October. These months offer the best weather possible for sightseeing, wandering and exploring, during the summer months the heat can get a little overwhelming.

If you want to save money, visit Tuscany in August. Italy’s vacation time is in August, so a lot of the locals are elsewhere on holiday, meaning August is considered off-season in Italy. The positives are that you won’t have to worry about the crowds, but due to the low number of visitors, you might find some shops, restaurants or attractions closing early.
