Read moreThe best time to visit Italy is during the spring period from April to June or in autumn between September and October.
Visiting during these ‘shoulder’ periods lets you explore the country’s widely diverse regions with moderate temperatures and often fewer tourists than in peak summer season. Spring offers plenty of festivals across the country and the rustic Alpine regions begin to show off their vividly colourful wild flowers. Experience April’s Easter festivities in full swing and unique events such as medieval jousting tournaments. Autumn brings a haul of wonderful food festivals, and harvest time means you can savour freshly produced wine and truffles. During autumn time, soak up the glamour of major film festivals in Venice and Rome or visit the beaches of the south to make the most of the last of the warm weather.

Monthly weather and travel tips for Italy
January is Italy’s coldest month, so whichever part of the country you visit, be sure to layer up for the winter weather. In the north, the average temperature tends to stay between 4°C and 7°C, while the central and southern regions climb up to 14°C. The new year rolls in with more national holidays so expect many local businesses to be closed for a couple of days early in the month.
Christmas celebrations carry over into the new year, with Epiphany (known as La Befana) celebrations held on 6 January. Festivities vary between cities, with some of the best taking place in Venice and Urbania in the Marche region. January is a great time to ski in Italy, with many of the best resorts in the Alps and the Dolomites less crowded than in peak season. The Feast of Saint Anthony the Abbot takes place on 17 January in many towns in northern and central regions. Expect plenty of bonfires, dancing and toasts to the patron saint of butchers, domestic animals, basketmakers and gravediggers.

By February, temperatures begin to climb but it’s certainly still coat-worthy weather across the country. Ski season peaks in tandem with the school holidays so expect the slopes to be more crowded. Temperatures across the country range from lows of 0°C in the northern Alps region to 15°C in the typically sunnier south.
One celebration stands out above all the others in February, and that’s Carnevale. Although many towns hold these pre-Lenten celebrations, Venice’s offering is by far the most famous. The Floating City transforms into an open-air theatre, filled with elaborate masks, stylish cloaks and lavish carnival balls with dinner and entertainment. Other notable carnivals are held in Viareggio, Verona and Ivrea which holds a giant food fight known as The Battle of the Oranges. If you’d prefer not to play with your food, head to the Umbrian town of Norcia to sample some prized tartufo nero (black truffle).

The unpredictable weather in March means you’ll want to pack for rain or shine. Early March is usually cold and wet, but as spring starts to spread across most of the country, temperatures rise up to 16°C towards the end of the month. If you’re not planning on doing weather-dependent activities like scenic hikes or sunbathing, then this less-crowded off-peak period is perfect for a trip to Italy.
Depending on the liturgical calendar, Carnevale and Easter can often fall into March, so check the events schedule before you plan your trip. Other notable festivals include International Women’s Day on 8 March and the open monuments weekend when buildings usually closed to the public open their doors to everyone. The actual weekend varies each year so be sure to plan ahead if you want to attend. Elsewhere, runners head to Rome for the annual marathon while foodies flock to Florence for its three-day food fair held inside Stazione Leopolda.

Spring is in full swing and Easter week celebrations take centre stage across the country throughout April. The unpredictable weather patterns continue so make sure you pack some waterproof clothing or an umbrella at the very least to cope with those April showers. Milder temperatures make for more comfortable outdoor exploration, particularly in the flowering mountains of Calabria and Sicily which have an average temperature of around 18°C.
April brings a long haul of festivals, from Milan’s Salone Internazionale del Mobile showcasing eye-catching furniture to the start of Florence’s Maggio Musicale Fiorentino which fills the city with theatre and musical performances. Verona holds its annual Vinitaly wine and spirits exhibition, complete with tastings, workshops and book readings. 25 April administers a double dose of celebrations as the entire country celebrates Liberation Day and Venice holds a huge party in honour of St. Mark – the city’s patron saint.

Known as the month of roses, May ushers in the first signs of summer with warmer temperatures and blooming countryside scenery. Average highs tend to be between 18–21°C but you should pack a light jumper or coat for the cooler evenings.
1 May is a public holiday across the country so you might see some interesting festivals and parades, but expect many services such as shops and restaurants to be closed. Italy’s biggest bicycle race – the Giro d’Italia – starts in early May and goes on for most of the month as it passes through gruelling Alpine routes and urban city centres. This month also sees many cities like Rome and Florence hold their annual Museum Night when major galleries offer free entry, special events and later opening times. On the last weekend of the month, the Cantine Aperte festival opens doors to hundreds of wine cellars across the country. Taste wines from various regions and meet the producers to find out about everything from grape harvesting and distribution.

It’s officially summer in Italy, so pack your shades and shorts for warm weather and plenty of sunshine. The average temperature is around 21°C at the start of the month but highs of 30°C are a possibility as the month draws to a close.
Republic Day, held on 2 June, is a national holiday which brings parades and parties to all corners of the country. Rome tends to put on the biggest show with an aeronautical display from the Italian Air Force and free entry to city-run museums. Make the most of the good weather by wandering through the beautiful Tuscan countryside or relaxing on the sandy beaches of Sardinia or the Amalfi Coast. For something a bit different, check out the Giostra del Saracino – a medieval jousting tournament held on the third Saturday in June in the Tuscan town of Arezzo.

July is one of the hottest months of the year, with minimal rainfall and temperatures up to 31°C. School’s out for summer and families head for the mountains and sandy beaches of the south. Cities and villages put on their best show to pull in the crowds with festivals galore.
Despite the wonderful weather, exploring cities can get tiring due to the intense heat so be sure to pack plenty of lightweight clothing, sunscreen and drink lots of water. Music lovers won’t be short of options, with festivals such as Sicily’s Alkantara Fest and Umbria Jazz Festival both taking place in July. There’s also the Ravello Festival which offers a range of music performances in a beautiful setting along the Amalfi Coast. Not one to be upstaged, Rome puts on its performance-packed Estate Romana which features everything from live concerts and dance shows to late-night museum access.

There are two keys words to describe Italy in August – overpriced and overcrowded. Most of the locals go on holiday so many businesses such as shops and restaurants will be shut for the entire month. It’s best to avoid visiting in August if you’re flexible, but if not, there’s still plenty to see and do – just be ready to deal with soaring temperatures up to 32°C.
Summer festivals continue in Sicily, with an international fire-dancing festival in Palermo and Ypsigrock in Castelbuono hosting some renowned rock acts. On 15 August, the public holiday known as Ferragosto takes place, when Catholics celebrate the assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven. Most locals start their summer holidays at this time, so expect cities to empty out and beaches to fill up.

September is a perfect time to explore Italy as temperatures begin to fall and summer crowds begin to dwindle. The average high rounds out at around 27°C, but there is more chance of rain than in previous months so bring your brolly.
The glamorous Venice International Film Festival holds star-studded premieres on Lido Beach, usually from late August to early September but dates change every year. The Floating City also holds the historic Regata Storica di Venezia on the first Sunday of September, featuring teams of costumed gondoliers battling it out in a race along the Grand Canal. Shakespeare fans can join in the celebrations for Juliet’s Birthday on the first weekend of the month when hundreds of people parade through the streets of Verona dressed in period costumes. September also brings the beginning of the grape harvest, so if you’re in the mood for vino, head to Chianti for the annual wine expo or the Douja d'Or National Wine Show in Asti.

Autumn sweeps across Italy in October with milder temperatures around the low 20s. However, frequent rainfall and colder evenings mean you should still pack some extra layers. It’s a prime time to visit the beaches of the south which become less crowded but maintain the warmer weather.
Rome holds its annual film festival in the latter half of the month, when Hollywood stars descend on the historic capital to attend world premieres of almost 40 films. To discover some of Italy’s famous food scene, those with a sweet tooth should head to Perugia’s Eurochocolate event. As well as lots of chocolate, there’s also music, workshops and wine tastings. If you pass through the Piedmont town of Alba, you can experience Italy’s biggest truffle fair, held every Saturday and Sunday in October and November.

November is off-peak season for tourism in Italy, so it’s a good time soak up culture without the crowds – albeit with a wintery chill in the air. Temperatures dip as low as 4°C in the north, with the south remaining relatively warm with averages between 13–18°C. Layered clothing and waterproofs are a must, with lots of rainfall across the country.
The month kicks off with All Saints’ Day on 1 November – a national holiday offering the chance to attend services at historic churches like Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice and St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Truffle season is in full swing, with town’s like Alba and Asti in Piedmont and the medieval Tuscan hill town of San Miniato hosting fairs devoted to the fancy fungi. November is a great month for opera fans who can catch performances at world-famous venues like La Fenice in Venice or La Scala in Milan.

In December, seasonal celebrations take place all over the country as preparations for Christmastime go into fifth gear. The wintery weather may be peaking but you can keep warm with a traditional cup of mulled wine if you're near the mountains, some thick hot chocolate or a satisfying cup of coffee. Pack your gloves, scarf, bobble hat and thick layers to deal with the frosty temperatures which can go as low as -4°C in the north. Alpine resorts like Cervinia and Livigno spring to life for the start of ski season, filled with plenty of snow-sure slopes.
On 8 December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception marks the first public holiday of the month and often features parades and live music events. Christmas markets add a sprinkle of festive cheer to cities and villages across the country, with some of the most popular including Perugia Christmas Festival, Trento Christmas Market and the Weihnachtsmarkt in Merano. If you’re around for the New Year’s celebrations, you can expect to see plenty of fireworks in main squares and large outdoor concerts in cities like Rome, Milan and Rimini.

Weather wise, Italy is best visited from April to June and between September and October, when temperatures are mild. Hot and muggy August is best avoided no matter which part of the country you’re visiting. The consistently sunny south enjoys warm weather for much of the year, making it the place for scenic seaside and temperatures fit for t-shirts. Northern coastal regions like the Italian Riviera and southern spots such as Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast are best avoided during the summer months of July and August, when temperatures soar towards 30°C and beaches are crowded. If you want less crowds and warm weather, visit from September for the best of both worlds. If you favour snow over the sand, the ski season generally runs between late November and April.

Como is lovely - make sure you go on Lake Como by traghetto, and catch a train to Lugano if you have the time.
We went for skiing. The slopes are exceptionally well prepared. It is a smaller resort than Alta Badia, for example, but this has its benefits as there were no queues and crowds. It is close to Nauders in Austria, so one could decide to try both resorts, but we didn't: we loved the Schoeneben ski area. Food at the restaurants is much cheaper than average for ski resorts in Europe, yet of the same high standard.
The ski area of Monte Civetta is a middle size region, but providing nice conditions for both beginner and advanced skiers, In contrary to very famous destinations, such Sella Ronda or Predazzo is not so crowded.
I liked the location was to close with malpensa airport
It was quite stunning and peaceful. Easy access to Siena and the food in the region was amazing
Small town, very tranquil and quite. Perfect escape from busy cities.
We only spent one day in Turin as we were on our way to the mountains for a skiing holiday so cant really comment on the attractions of Turin.
Lovely little mountain town with spectacular views. A paradise for outdoors enthusiasts
Wonderful service, food and view! Extra memorable experience
Nice slope at 3.000 meters, good ski conditions, good slopes.
as i said earlier the property was good and will always recomand to friends of mine and my office team. My suggestion is to have pick up from Malpanza airport as free pikc up and drop. This way the hotel could get better mileage i look forward for better price or deal during my visit to Hotel. Thanks for all support in the hotel
Thoroughly recommend Corvara, absolutely brilliant place to ski.
A city full of history and culture - plenty of Roman ruins, art galleries, museums and cathedrals to explore. Bring comfortable shoes as you will walk a lot! We stayed for two days and would have loved another day. Definitely worth visiting. The weather in March was mostly sunny, warm but slightly cooler in the evenings so pack accordingly
I would class Transylvania as a " boutique" hotel as it is orientated for people who likes mystery and not afraid of skeletons. We all will be skeletons anyway! Enjoy Drakula atmosphere and a nice drink! Will definitely recommend and come back myself and next time will bring my kids! Roberta, hotel manager will assist with everything and tell you interesting stories.
The hosts are bilingual, they speak both Italian and English. They will treat you as part if the family, and will try to help you no matter what problems you might encounter, they will advise you what to visit and they will do their best to make you enjoy the time spent there.
Wonderful old town to wander around or just sit and pass a few hours doing nothing.
Vercelli was my stop before heading to Alagna, Monte rosa. Alagnia is a beautiful village in the mountains. As I was travelling on a Sunday there was no public transport to take me there so I had to wait in Vercelli until the next day.
Good clean beach with good views. Easy access to the beach with free parking, though I suspect in the summer it could be very crowded.
Vibo Valentia is a lovely little town and although our stay was only a couple of nights, the location has historic places to see both in the town and in surrounding villages. Other amenities like large supermarkets and fitness centres are there as well. You will need a car to fully explore the villages around.
Trip to Murano and Burano was great but not enough time (1hr 30mins) in Burano. Could have spent the afternoon there. Rialto Bridge very busy at weekends as is San Marco. Use the gondola taxi service costing 2 euros to cross to other regions .
Gerace is a beautiful little historical village. The best thing to visit on Ionian side of Calabria.
Shopping outlet for clothes- Outlet Outlet Calzedonia-Intimissimi. Had nice breakfast and coffee in a cafe in “Penny” (Via delle Farniole, 29, 52045 Foiano della Chiana AR, Italy)
Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this property.
It's a getaway from more the typical tourist traps of Italy. Good place to visit if you like the mountains.
Beautiful place with lovely people. I felt safer than other cities I have visited. But obviously, you can never be too cautious. I would definitely recommend learning Italian for a while before visiting though because the locals don't speak much English and it makes it easier for everyone!
It is a town away from the busy tourist hotspots but easily accessible Via public transport (train, ferry) or a short drive away by public transport.
A few levels above other locations around. And there is one special restaurant - Da ciro o'pirate
The host was fantastic, great communication before arrival, lovely breakfast even at the early hour we requested
Huge room with super comfortable bed. Large bathroom with great shower. Staff friendly & breakfast included.
Scala has stunning scenery and is away from the crowds. Great for those who enjoy walking and a more peaceful location. Lots of steps!
Lovely little hilltop town with fantastic view over the hills of the Barolo. Various dining options available in town and nearby.
tiny villages full of restaurant Very cozy and not crowded, extremely clean
Great. Perhaps some a better map and numbering system for information. We chose not to use audio guide as prefer hard copy information. Would like more information in English.
I attended a wedding held quite near Buti I would highly recommend this B&B to others wanting to at Buti.
Small village. Good starting point to visit other cities in friuli region . The only restaurant in the village alle cita da trieste was very good place with delicious food. Palmonava outlet is only 7 km
Odlična točka za ogled vzhodnega do jugovzhodnega jezera Garda. Mirna lokacija. Ima vse kar potrebuješ.
Cute market on a Wednesday morning with a good fish van. Fantastic beach at Green Bay on Orbetello next to Porto Ecole, go to Trattoria Le Mandorlaie on the way to Scansano for fantastic suckling pig, or eat in Da Sandra in Magliano for amazing steaks. A hidden gem in Tuscany, and only and hour and a half from Fiumicino airport by car. And make sure to try Morellino di Scansano, it's a great local wine.
Big ancient city, and a quaint town. Not too much else to see so don't spend more than a day or two there
Lago di Como is surely a special place, However Veleso is a shiny gem. The view of the lake and the surranding mountins were breathtaking. From the Hotel Bellavista dining room and our bedroom the sunsets and sunrises took another dimension. It was like a painting costantly changing. Colors, clouds and scenary were mixing and iwhat it were always emerging was a beatiful canvas with the lake at his best. Veleso we will come back!!
Apart the crowds and the smell its a fairy tale place. Lots of things to see and experience. Should do research and wonder off the beaten path to experience some higher quality gastronomy.
It Is close to the forest and close to Santa Sofia, good and strategic location
Beautiful mountain views Very well kept and beautiful. Plenty of local walks Good restaurants and bars.
We had an unexpected stay here and were delightfully surprised. Lovely town, great food and a great feel.
Colfosco is a village with a wonderfully mountain soul. The place is very peaceful, clean and very pleasant for walks. It is also a good starting point for longer climbs (Saas da Ciampac, Sassonger, Piz Boe, Cima Piscidau). At the same time, it also has good connections with gondolas and chairlifts to nearby cottages. The people are really nice end friendly.
Many kind persons and very professional guides especially in the Gravina. The museum of Rodolfo Valentino was great.
Charming small village with beautiful hills and perfectly situated to travel to Florence and explore a Tuscany
European visitors must be made aware that life comes to stop from 1pm -3 30 pm during the week and everything closes on Saturdays at lunchtime until Monday! Not a criticism - just needs to be put out there! Street market on Sundays mind blowing. Old city beautiful. People lovely.
A stunning mountain area with fantastic trails,via ferrata and top notch rifugi! Big elevation gain & loss days. Trails not for the faint of heart. The Pizzeria Sass Maor served the very best tagliatelle ai funghi i’ve ever had. a truly great family run restaurant.
Lovely location to chill out and relax and explore other nearby towns. We will definitely be going back but this time for 5 to 7 days.
A simple and quaint little Dolomite village on the edge of what used to be Buchenstein in the distant past. The village bar/pizzeria is worth going to, as is the Belvedere Grill and Al Crot in Selva de Cadore. The walking in the area is amazing. The drive to Cortina de Amprezzo over the Passo Giau stunning.
beutifull sceenery. traditional vaiiage, the best lake. many restaurants, i ate dinner in the hotel good variety of dishes
Great location, you will need a car to get to Como lake. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff
Great base for area hikes/excursions to Majella National Park.
On m’y hôtel revie, I’ve mistaken the hotel. The Centu Concas was one of the best hotel I’ ce never been. I highly recommend this hotel.
Beautiful scenic region famous for its Chiant Classico wines from vineyards 'throughout' and lots of pretty hilltop towns and villages to explore.
Everything was perfect. Comfortable beds, bathroom, area, breakfast, and wine
nice town with gardens fountains and wonderful view of Rome. you can reach rome in just 30 mins
The staff at Crowne Plazza were very helpful, the food portions were a bit on the small size.
Incredible views, houses, architecture, a historical place and worth the views and the wine, but super touristy and terrible touristy food, completely rammed with tourists eg cruise ship day trips and so on. Go to witness something unique and incredible but also accept that you will not be alone at any given moment and that your food options are limited.
Pekné historické mesto, ktoré určite stojí za to preskúmať a vychutnať si aj skutočný život v takom mestečku, ktoré nepôsobí, ako turistická atrakcia.
Very good breakfast with different types of food. Not far from Milano which can be reached easily by car in 20 minutes. With a very good value for money, I highly recommended it!
The old buildings the canals, the food, the friendly staff at all the restaurants
Absolutely beautiful grounds and excellent meet and greet by hotel staff. We went in October so private beach was closed but pool was lovely. Venue is a bit isolated if not driving. Venue seemed understaffed at times and not all requests could be met
It is a great place for an over night stay if you are going to the airport.
It is a good place for a break on a long way but nothing more.
Amazing views of the mountains and the sea. Good Italian cuisine. Nice beach.
Occhiobello is a town in the middle of Italy, with a historic neighbouring city of Ferrara on its shadows. It’s a by pass town to many important cities like Bologna and Modena and the people are friendly.
Beautiful city lots to see and do. a real hidden gem lots of nice places to eat and drink people very friendly, lot of amazing squares full of life.
Really enjoyed the quietness of the village. We came for the Xmas Market which wasn't as busy as the website on Govone indicated (it said 100 stalls there were only about 20 max). We had a car and went off to Alba during the day on Saturday so I would say a car is a necessity to explore . There are 3 restaurants in the village and a bar in the centre .
Cremona is a wonderful place with beautiful buildings and streets. A must to visit during the Torrone festival if you like all things nougat A piazza that has a beautiful church and tower a must to see and climb. Never a shortage of bars and restaurants to drink and eat whatever your stomach requires. Great shops of all types. It's the home of the Stradivarius violin with a world class museum a must to visit. It's Italy what's not to like.
its not particularly the place to explore, from there I went to Roma by the train to the center of Napoli by the metro and to Pompeii with a car and to Caserta palace
The best thing about this B & B was the management. Sara manages the check in, maintenance and prepares Italian style breakfast. She also will help with restaurant reservations and will direct you yo other points of interest. The old town is very interesting but would not recommend this B & B for any one that has trouble walking.
Cesaro is the village at the south entry of the Neibrodi Regional Natural Park. It is a good first stop. You will find hotels, cafe, bakeries and shops. The quick walk to the statue of the Lord of the Mountain is a must do for the due over the Etna volcano.
Its a lovely little town. With a lot of hills. And spectacular view.
Getting away from the main tourist spots was a highlight.
Am amazing place to relax and to have a divine experience and view.
Great place fairly close to the airport and very friendly host.
Chatillion is cosy small town from wich you can get in 25 minutes to different ski-resorts. In front of the house where we rented apartment there is Carefour supermarket, in 10 meters distance bakery with big choice of sweets.
a economical proposal for hotels that are expensive in this very touristic area with accepted conpromises (noisy-loud environment)
Nice, small, quiet, tasty pizzas :) Good transportation to Rome - bus, train.
Unspoilt, authentic charming village set in a stunning location.
