When to go to Italy
Italy has a temperate climate, though there are variations depending on whether you are near the sea or the mountains – it is balmy by the sea but colder in the Alps.
Summers are hot and dry, with cool sea breezes by the beach and pleasantly cool temperatures in the mountains.
This is a good time for hiking and exploring, while the cities are ideal to visit in spring and autumn, when the weather is still pleasant and there are fewer crowds.
