We'll be in Florence in late June. In planning visits to major sites (i.e., museums with long lines, churches) does it matter if we go on weekend vs. weekday? I know about Monday closings, so don't need that info. Thanks.

-<BR>It'll be very busy in June; possibly a tad less hectic on weekdays than weekends. If you plan on visiting the Uffizzi museum or the Accademia (David), it's well worth reserving tix ahead.<BR>

Florence is much busier on the weekend than weekdays. Italians, who have the weekend off, come to Florence to see the major sites and add to the congestion. I WOULD NEVER go to Florence in June. Centro will look like Times Square on New Year's Eve. I have been to Florence in June and I will NEVER make that mistake again.

Thank you a--z for actually replying to my question. Thank you Stephen for continuing your recent bizarre ranting -- did I ask about a hotel? Thank you JohnG -- when you can change my kids' school schedule I'll take your advice. Last time I was in Italy was in June -- yes, crowded, but better than not going at all.

If you don't like our advice, why on earth did you ask for it in the first place??????? As Oscar Wilde said, &quot;No good deed ever goes unpunished.&quot;

john g, i think his advise request was &quot;weekends vs. weekdays.&quot; i don't recall him asking what time of year he should go.
