🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect warm, golden September days with temperatures peaking around 32°C (90°F). The sun is strong, so wide-brimmed hats and sunscreen are essential for the kids, especially during the Boboli Gardens visit. Evenings cool down to a pleasant 18°C (64°F), perfect for outdoor dining, but do carry a light layer for the walk back from Piazzale Michelangelo.

🚕 Logistics notes
- The walk to Piazzale Michelangelo is steep; with kids, the C4 bus is highly recommended. The Duomo square is flat and stroller-friendly, but the interior of the Cathedral often has long lines—admiring the exterior is often enough for younger children.
