Best time to travel to Rome

Visit Rome in spring to take part in the Festa della Primavera or Mostra delle Azalee (Festival of Spring), when the Spanish Steps at Piazza di Spagna are covered with azaleas. The city is also highly decorated for Holy Week and Easter. The summertime Noantri Festival is another major celebration. Visit at Christmastime to browse the festive holiday markets and piazzas (squares). From October to April, Rome sees fewer crowds.
