When to Visit Italy, Long WeekEnd In Italy, Choose the location a for your holidays

When choosing what time of year to visit Italy, two decisive factors should be considered: climate and crowds. Better weather naturally draws more visitors to Italy, so think about what kind of travel you prefer. Do large crowds madden you? Are you willing to forgo the sunshine in return for shorter museum lines and lower prices? If so, then a trip during low tourist season (or "off" season) may suit you just fine. If, on the other hand, you need that golden Italian sunshine dusting your shoulders as you take your passeggiata along Rome's Via del Corso, then a May or June visit is for you.
