Italy's Seasonal Highlights

Italy shines year-round, but the best time to visit is from April to June and September to October

During these months, the weather is mild and comfortable, ideal for exploring iconic cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as the picturesque countryside of Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast

The spring and fall offer a perfect balance of pleasant temperatures, blooming landscapes, and fewer crowds, allowing for more immersive experiences at historical sites, vineyards, and charming villages

While summer (July to August) brings vibrant festivals and beach days, it also attracts larger crowds and higher temperatures. For those seeking a quieter, more relaxed journey, the shoulder seasons are the optimal choice

During the summer months, daily flights connect all major Italian airports with the rest of Europe, offering a wonderful opportunity to combine Italy and another European country in the same journey

Getting There and Getting Around

Rome is the airport with the largest volume of international flights and being centrally located, it makes for a great arrival and departure airport
