When to visit
Italy's Mediterranean climate makes it a year-round destination, but spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists.
Summer is ideal for coastal regions like the Amalfi Coast and Sicily, while winter in cities like Rome and Florence offers fewer crowds and festive holiday markets.
The wine regions of Tuscany and Piedmont are best visited during the autumn harvest season, offering mild temperatures and picturesque landscapes.
Getting around
Italy's extensive train network, operated by Trenitalia and Italo, connects major cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, offering scenic journeys through the countryside.
For exploring Italy's rural areas and coastal regions, renting a car provides flexibility and access to charming towns, vineyards, and historic sites off the beaten path.
In cities like Rome and Milan, efficient metro systems and buses make it easy to navigate and reach top attractions, while walking allows travelers to soak in the atmosphere of iconic landmarks and historic streets.
Tips
- Embrace the local dining culture; Italians typically eat dinner late, around 8-10 PM, and meals are often leisurely social events.
- Use regional trains and buses to explore smaller towns and scenic countryside, as well as Italy's efficient high-speed train network for longer distances.
- Indulge in Italy’s culinary diversity, trying regional specialties such as pizza in Naples, pasta in Bologna, and gelato everywhere.
- Visit historical sites early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid crowds, especially in popular cities like Rome and Florence.
- Carry cash, as smaller businesses and restaurants in Italy often prefer it over credit cards.
- Dress modestly when visiting religious sites, as many churches and cathedrals require covered shoulders and knees.
