Florence is best known for its incredible history, art and architecture you can breathe in at every street corner, and also for endless summertime aperitivi gazing at the sun slowly sinking into the silver Arno river after a long day of queuing to see magnificent museums or searching for some shade along the walls of a church, aching for some respite from the multitude of tourists. There is beauty in those months of endless light and fun, but Florence in winter can be just as wondrous and perhaps even more unexpectedly magical.
