Spring

The months of April, May, and June in Rome cannot be beat. The weather is pleasant, and swarms of tourists haven't invaded for the high summer season.

The Roman streets will be painted with colorful flowers in bloom, and ticket lines for top attractions will be fairly short.

Fall

Once the crowds disippate at the end of the summer season, September, October, and November is prime time to visit the Eternal City.

Crisp autumn mornings and mild daily temperatures make this season ideal for sightseeing in Italy's ancient capital.
