Rome - The best and worst times to visit Rome
Insights you need to know

Best times

• May
  Up until the last week of May, tourist crowds are moderate. Airline and hotel prices and availability are favorable. Temperature and humidity are usually comfortable. Skies are often blue. It rains, but not frequently.
  
  
• October
  This is Rome's best overall period for visitors. Temperature and humidity are pleasant, the tourist count has significantly decreased, and hotel rates and availability are traveler friendly.

Least desiraable times

• June to August
  Although days are usually sunny, the heat and humidity can be stifling. And tourist crowds and the waiting lines they create can be overwhelming and time-consuming. And airline and hotel prices are at their highest - and hotel booking availability is low. Note: These negatives can carry over into early September.
  
  
• December to February
  Cold weather interferes with enjoyable sightseeing.

Holidays
Unless your goal is to celebrate Easter and Christmas holidays, avoid those holiday periods because Rome can be unbearably overcrowded with pilgrims and tourists.
