Italy Weather Guide

Italy Weather Guide - Car Hire Italy

Italy is not a vast country, but the weather from the top to the toe of this boot will vary pretty dramatically throughout the year. Plus, with the long coastlines and mountain ranges, the temperature can change in a matter of minutes as you go from town to town.

The question of when to go to Italy is a tough one to answer, as it depends largely on what kind of trip you want to take, what on your list are “must-see” sights, what your budget is, etc. But generally speaking, spring and autumn are most pleasant. While the traditional high season is creeping on both ends to include much of spring and autumn these days, the crowds still are not as bad in May as they can be in July, and prices sometimes are a bit less as well. If budget is your main concern, a trip to Italy between November and April will be cheap (relatively speaking) and, as a bonus, you will not have to wait in the frighteningly long lines at the major sights like July’s visitors are forced to do.
