For travelers with flexible schedules, the slow season in Italy—from November to March—is the perfect time to explore. Fewer tourists mean you can enjoy Italy’s beauty, culture, and food in a more personal way.
What to See
Italy’s famous spots are calmer during this time. Walk through Venice’s canals, admire art in Florence, explore Rome’s historic landmarks, or enjoy the Amalfi Coast towns like Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello without crowds. You can even visit Pompeii or the Colosseum more peacefully.
