Italy enjoys a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Coastal areas typically have more moderate temperatures, while inland regions, especially at higher altitudes, can experience greater temperature extremes.
The shoulder seasons of spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are ideal, offering pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and beautiful natural scenery.
Summer (July and August) is the peak tourist season, with hot weather perfect for beach holidays and outdoor activities, but also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
Winter (November to March) is the off-season, characterized by cooler temperatures and rain, making it less ideal for sightseeing but offering a more authentic experience and lower prices, especially for skiing in the Alps.
