Planner
The main tourist season runs from April to mid-October. For serious sight-seers the best months are from fall to early spring. The so-called low season may be cooler and inevitably rainier, but it has its rewards: less time waiting in line and closer-up, unhurried views of what you want to see. Tourists crowd the major art cities at Easter, when Italians flock to resorts and to the country. From March through May, busloads of eager school children on excursions take cities of artistic and historical interest by storm.
Weatherwise, the best months for sightseeing are April, May, June, September, and October — generally pleasant and not too hot. The hottest months are July and August, when humidity can make things unpleasant. Winters are relatively mild in most places on the main tourist circuit but always include some rainy spells.
