Abstract: We address estimation of temperature for finite quantum systems at thermal equilibrium and show that the Landau bound to precision $delta{T}^{2}propto{T}^2$, originally derived for a classical {em not too small} system being a portion of a large isolated system at thermal equilibrium, may be also achieved by energy measurement in microscopic {em quantum} systems exhibiting vanishing gap as a function of some control parameter. On the contrary, for any quantum system with a non-vanishing gap $Delta$, precision of any temperature estimator diverges as $delta{T}^{2}gtrsim{T}^4{e}^{Delta/T}$.
