Italy is best experience at a particular time of the year, visiting Italy in the rain is a miserable experience if you are looking to hit the beach or take a boat out to the Island of Capri. Note that when there’s too much heat, it can be very difficult for you most especially if you are planning on visiting Colosseum whereby you have to queue so that you can enter the premises. In Italy there are certain places whereby you can’t visit in just any month, therefore, note that where you are planning to visit is what will guide you in knowing which months will be perfect to visit Italy. Moreover when the weather is at Goldilocks levels, just right, you should expect a big crowd. It might be worth considering if you want to forgo good weather for lesser crowds.
Many people usually visit Italy so that they can get a chance to see room and the very many ancient sites that are there such as the Colosseum and the Septimius Severus. visiting the site is going to require walking around in the heat as many of them are exposed to the elements as well as being slightly below the level of the current City. This is the reason as to why people are encouraged to buy tickets a little bit earlier or a day before and if you want to enjoy your time make sure that you visit these places early in the morning before the heat is too much. However many people like to see Rome in one weekend and might not have time to visit one site every day. The best thing about most of the ancient sites in Italy is that you are allowed to visit the areas during the night hours.
Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum is something that you should ensure that you do while you are in Italy because they are quite popular and no start the tour starts in the morning because it usually takes the whole day. Both of them are exposed to the sun with very little shade, and some of the streets are very narrow, leading to large crowds and difficulty in moving around. If you are in a dilemma of either visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum go with Herculaneum because the crowds in this place are very minimal as it is not as famous as Pompeii. Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum in the cooler months between November and April is the best decision you can make.
