Weather

Rome is hot; there are no two ways about it. In general, the Spring and Autumn offer more bearable weather and fewer crowds, as well as allowing you to see the natural splendour of the city alongside the ancient monuments. However, visiting in summer has plenty of benefits: everything will be open for tourists, and the famous gelato will be even more of a life saver. Winter is much quieter and colder, but temperatures rarely get below zero, so it’s more than bearable as long as you pack wisely.

Discover the real Rome

Italian cuisine is loved worldwide for a reason, and in Rome you’re at the heart of it all. The best of many regional dishes can be found in the nation’s capital, but there are plenty of Roman dishes to delight food lovers, too. And don’t forget to take advantage of the aperitivos!

More of the USA

Famously home to some of the world’s biggest wonders (sequoias, we’re looking at you) America’s small towns and secret nooks are just as exciting. A place for explorers, wanderers and the inquisitive to discover at their own pace. State to state, city to city, the ever changing landscape is vast and uncompromising. Which sets the scene for road trips, opening up a map to one of the world’s most eccentric and exciting continents.
