High Season

The busiest months are usually July and August, since the weather is usually very hot and normally the spas and beaches are to the edge, however, if you are looking to visit places and cultural cities such as Rome or Venice it is better to go on this season despite the weather, being that most of the habitants have gone on vacation.

Shoulder Season

The average season is divided in two, from April to June and from September to October, in both you can find the perfect climate to travel, in the first it takes place the spring where the trees and flowers bloom, and the autumn in the second, with the harvest season.

Low Season

From November to March is the low season, prices usually fall in relation to the high season. There are very few reservations due to the winter in coasts and mountains, but the cities become in a Christmas and winter atmosphere.

Your trip to Italy

i travel from

Your travel to Italy has about 19% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
