Rome Apartments and Hotels - Your Rome Accommodation

Spring: March through till May is a good time to visit Rome and is one of the most popular times to go because of the Lent season. Thousands of Christians flock to Rome during Lent and Easter to visit its churches and museums. During March and April, despite seeing some glorious clear skies, the weather can be quite unpredictable, and during the night it will still be quite chilly. Heading into May temperatures start to creep over 20°c, meaning the summer wardrobe can make an appearance. This makes May one of the best months to visit as you can see the city while enjoying warm, but not overbearing, temperatures.

Summer: June through to August is packed full of tourists, with all the main attractions busy and queues will often be long. However there is less traffic as many Romans take a break from the city during these sweltering months. Particularly in August, be prepared to see more tourists than locals. During this month many things close down or they will operate on a limited schedule. If you like the hot weather, it does make it a great time to enjoy the perks of Rome, such as eating at the many outdoor cafés and restaurants, and eating delicious gelato.

Autumn: The good weather from the summer continues into September, however it is much more bearable and less humid, making it a great month to visit Rome. October still often has good weather, although it becomes more variable and towards the end of the month it starts to cool down. November is when winter starts to set in with mild temperatures – it’s also the wettest month. By this time the main tourist season has ended. The football season also starts in the autumn and lasts through to spring so if you are hoping to catch a match it would be best to come during this time.

Winter: During this season rain is common, and while the days are still often bright, it gets chilly and the weather becomes unpredictable. The advantage is that there are not as many tourists and Christmas is a really special and beautiful time to see the city, with Christmas scenes and lights everywhere. In particular the Christmas market at Piazza Navona brings a festive atmosphere with lots of sweet treats to warm you up.
