Is it better to book a hotel, apartment or B&B in Florence?

Hotels for service and convenience, apartments for families or groups who want to cook, B&Bs for a more local experience and lower prices.

How far ahead should I book for Calcio Storico or high season?

Ideally 3-4 months ahead: in June and during high season, prices rise sharply and availability collapses across the whole historic centre.

Practical tip

Staying in Florence during Calcio Storico and high season

If you're visiting in June (Calcio Storico) or between April and October, book well ahead — ideally 3-4 months in advance: prices rise sharply and availability collapses across the whole historic centre, not just near the square.
