Emily Luxton Short answer: YES! Long answer, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you want sunshine, swimming pools, and day trips to the beach, January probably isn’t the best time to head to Rome (or Italy in general). But there are a lot of perks to travelling out of season: 1) It’s warmer than England; 2) cooler weather is good for sightseeing; and 3) cold weather = better for eating, 4) less people (shorter queues!), and 5) flights are cheaper!

Ladies What Travel xpect hot summery weather in Rome in June, but much more bearable than July or August! The average temp is around 24 degrees but it can get really high - up to 29-30 degrees! I spent my June trip to Rome in strappy maxi dresses and shades – well I did once we got all our luggage back from the guy who picked up the wrong bag at the bus stop! Ladies What Travel

A Rose Tinted World Rome in October had quite mixed weather whilst we were there. The day we arrived was relatively cool, even during the day, so I was glad to have brought a light coat. The second night it rained whilst we were trying to find a place to eat dinner. But we also had two lovely sunny days, and quite a lot of sunny spells too. This meant that it was the perfect temperature in my opinion to see all the sights that Rome has to offer. A Rose Tinted World
