Italy in the fall

Let someone call it subjectivism, but personally I like Italy in the fall. As is the case with many other destinations in the Northern Hemisphere, when the summer heat is decreasing, and the “gloomy time — charm of eyes” has not been so gloomy yet - nature gives amazing weeks when, under the influence of the surrounding beauties, I especially want to live, love and be loved. Not too hot and not too cold - it's time to throw a backpack on your shoulders and go to where all the other tourists are in a hurry to return to work weekdays.

Early autumn in Italy still breathing memories of summer on hot and sunny days (especially in September), but already without such high humidity and stuffy nights. Even if the sun still bakes during the day, the contrast of the night cool only emphasizes its charm.

Sunglasses and an umbrella may be equally relevant.

As you go deeper in the fall, an umbrella can often be a more relevant item in your backpack than sunglasses. And by November, especially in the northern regions, one should not rely on advertising photographs of the sun-drenched Apennine - a jacket will come in handy for you. Yes, and in the latitudes of Rome in October, the jacket becomes an actual subject. Be that as it may, just take a note of checking the weather forecast a few days in advance before going on a trip. Do not rely on historical temperatures - weather of autumn Italy can be quite moody.

Harvest FestivalsIn addition to the more gentle weather, traveling in Italy in the fall has other advantages. And although there are many interesting events on the Apennines throughout the year, some of the most fun are those related to gastronomy. Wine and chocolate days and truffle celebrations are celebrations that will find their way even to the most restrained stomach.

In addition to festivals of “tasty and healthy food”, autumn in Italy is also the start of new seasons, starting from football and ending with the opera, so that, regardless of tastes and preferences, it will take a walk where.

Not as cheap as we would like

The ideal of autumn Italy spoils only one factor - prices. Many, even very experienced tourists, do not consider autumn a high season, expecting more humane prices from it. But the truth is that in recent years this same season began to stretch, going beyond the summer. And, although, in early autumn, prices move away from summer peaks (especially among European low-cost companies), but you should not expect big savings from autumn.

Only with the approach of winter - prices decline and begin to please. But if, nevertheless, you are planning a trip earlier, and the budget does not imply a full binge, pay attention to places "located in the second tier of guides." Often the impressions of them are no less, and the chances of concluding an excellent deal are greatly increased.
