What you gain in July
- ↑32°C with very little rain (31mm) — reliable sunshine if heat is something you can manage
- ↑Estate Fiesolana festival brings classical concerts to the Roman theatre at Fiesole above the city
- ↑Gelaterias and rooftop aperitivo bars reach peak form — the social city at its most animated
What you sacrifice
- ↓32–34°C with no coastal breeze: midday heat in the marble-paved historic centre is genuinely harsh
- ↓Maximum tourist density: Uffizi queues even with advance booking, Ponte Vecchio impassable at peak hours
- ↓Highest prices of the year across hotels, restaurants, and tour operators — value for money at its worst
