When to go?

Italy has mostly a mediterranean climate that is characterized by hot summers and mild rainy winters but the 1200 kilometers from north to south makes the country have different micro-climates that sometimes differ from national norms. 

We recommend visiting during spring and autumn when the temperature is nice and the crowds are fewer.

High season: June - September

The high season in Italy is summer which begins in June and lasts until September and is known as the tourist season offering high temperatures. These are the busiest and most expensive times to visit.  If you’re planning to visit during the high season we recommend booking flights and accommodation a couple of months in advance.

Low Season: November - March

The low season in Italy starts mid November and lasts until mid March. The weather during this period is unpredictable and comes down to luck as it can be extremely cold and rainy or sometimes dry and pleasant. These are the worst months to visit Italy if you are aiming for a beach trip. The farther south you go the warmer the average temperature gets.
