As everyone knows, all roads lead to Rome! The Colosseum, the Trevi fountain, and the pasta have all made the capital of Italy the stuff of dreams for more than one visitor. Traces from the age of the Roman Empire and baroque edifices mingle with boisterous modern restaurants that liven up the neighborhoods. Rome is a superb mix of the past and the present.

April, June, September, and October.
Inland, the continental climate brings summer heat waves and harsh winters. On the coast and in the south, the country enjoys a more pleasant Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and dry summers. Temperatures can sometimes reach 40°C in certain places, however, not unlike destinations in the South. Stick to morning and evening excursions and have a nap in the afternoon!
