times to visit Rome

Insights you need to know

Best times

May

Up until the last week of May, tourist crowds are moderate. Airline and hotel prices and availability are favorable. Temperature and humidity are usually comfortable. Skies are often blue. It rains, but not frequently.

October

This is Rome's best overall period for visitors. Temperature and humidity are pleasant, the tourist count has significantly decreased, and hotel rates and availability are traveler friendly.

Least desiraable times

June to August

Although days are usually sunny, the heat and humidity can be stifling. And tourist crowds and the waiting lines they create can be overwhelming and time-consuming. And airline and hotel prices are at their highest - and hotel booking availability is low. Note: These negatives can carry over into early September.

December to February

Cold weather interferes with enjoyable sightseeing.

Holidays

Unless your goal is to celebrate Easter and Christmas holidays, avoid those holiday periods because Rome can be unbearably overcrowded with pilgrims and tourists.
