What is the best time to travel to Rome?

Best seasons to travel to Rome are spring and fall. In spring and fall the city is at its finest, the temperatures are pleasant for a city holiday and the cultural life is at its best. However Rome is worth seeing at any time of the year. In winter you can admire the Christmas lights and visit the famous sales and avoid the busiest tourist peaks.

Each season is different and has something unique to offer in Rome. The busiest and most expensive periods in Italy are around from April to June and from September to early November. In addition to transportation and accommodation we recommend booking your local experiences early because the holiday seasons are busy in Rome.
