The best time to visit Italy, considering both
the weather and crowd levels, is usually in
the spring (April to May) and fall (September
to October). During these months, the
weather is mild and enjoyable and you'll
generally find fewer tourists.
Summer (June to August) can be quite hot
and there’s more crowds and higher prices.
Winter (December to February) is the low
season. It’s cooler, and you’ll avoid the
crowds. The North can get very cold and
snowy, though.
