About Florence

Florence is the capital of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance, packed with art and architecture such as the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery and Michelangelo's David. It draws visitors from around the world and is also known for leather craftsmanship, Tuscan cuisine and as a base for exploring the region's hills and wine country.

Italy uses Central European Time, UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 (CEST) in summer. Florence is on the same clock as Rome and Milan and one hour ahead of London. Major museums such as the Uffizi often require timed-entry tickets, so keeping track of local time helps when booking slots from abroad.
