Spring in Tuscany usually starts in the second half of March when the vegetation starts to come back to life, making April and May the two months when the colours of the flowers are at their most vibrant. If you are planning to walk or cycle over this period, we’d recommend avoiding the days around Easter and the first of May, as these times tend to be quite crowded. 

When to Walk in Tuscany

Walking the countryside of Tuscany is often quiet and peaceful, even in the high season (between June and September), but in the towns it can be quite busy. After the hot summer days the air again becomes pleasantly fresh in September and October and the walking is fine, but it is in the second half of October or early November that you are most likely to experience the picturesque morning fog that the region is famous for.
