When is the best time to fly to Rome?

Spring is the best time for nature lovers to visit Rome. From March to May, mild temperatures and flowers in bloom show the city at its most vibrant, without the summer heat.

June to August is the time for sunshine and festivals, including the Estate Romana and Lungo il Tevere along the river. Bring sunscreen and a cover-up for the peak summer heat, and for visits to churches.

November to February brings the lowest prices and smallest crowds. These are the colder months, so pack warm clothes.

Top things to do in Rome

Rome's ancient landmarks have stood for well over a thousand years, and most visits start with them:

Colosseum: the great arena where gladiators once fought for freedom, glory and a well-earned paycheck
Pantheon: the astonishing Roman temple, still crowned by its great open dome after nearly two millennia
Roman Forum: the influential centre of political and religious life in ancient Rome, beside the Palatine Hill
Trevi Fountain: the gorgeous Baroque fountain where visitors throw a coin to be sure of returning

For more intimate collections, the Galleria Borghese and the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo are open year-round and hold some of the most celebrated art in history.

For food, the San Lorenzo district serves traditional and contemporary Roman cooking, and Trastevere's lanes fill with trattorias in the evening.
