we will go on end feb-march , how is the weather in italy on that time?? is it a high season??

Answer 1

Weather is a bit like ours. It will be a little chilly, but still good weather.  I really loved Rome. I saw a lot of romantic couples at the Trevi Fountain and it is a beautiful sight to see anyway. Venice I hear is very romantic and a neat city. Anywhere in Italy will be a good time, especially with the one you love. I suggest maybe buying a travel book and checking out some sights that might interest you. Enjoy the vacation, it is a wonderful and romantic country!

Answer 2

March is better.

We suggest You Rome, with Colosseo, Fontana di Trevi, Piazza di Spagna, ... Really wonderful for an anniversary

Answer 3

The ideal period is April-May. March is better than February

It depends what you are looking for. Italy is so rich and varied in things to see! Here are just a few tips:

Verona:

romantic town of Romeo and Juliet, you can visit Juliet's antique house and yard with her statue and famous balcony. There is also a beautiful world-renown Ancient Roman Arena (like the colosseum). Many shops, beautiful renaissance buildings.

Venice:

Simply amazing... by far the most unique city in world. Just as you would imagine it - no, better! Also known for its beautiful glass art work and craft objects that can be purchased on one of the venetian islands (Murano).

Florence:

Historic capital of the Renaissance Age: the native (or adoptive) home of Dante, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Da Vinci... full of amazing art-work, architecture, statues (such as the famous "David"), museums: romantic, historical and artsy.

Rome:

Colosseum, Forum, St. Peter's, other Roman ruins... museums, ancient capital of the world... fascinating!

Sicily:

mildest weather in winter, blend of european and mediterranean cultures, colorful, ... arabic, byzantine, greek artwork, temples, buildings... palm trees and beautiful beaches (though March is a little early for bathing) - look into Taormina,  Agrigento, Erice, Palermo...

I could go on forever... but I hope this was useful! Arrivederci!!

Answer 4

Rome, Venice, Florence, Portofino, Capri, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Sardinia, Sicily.

Answer 5

Hello,

If it is your first trip to Italy I would suggest Rome for the entire time.  This is a great city with so much to see and do.  I go to Rome (and the rest of Italy) very often and have yet to tire of this wonderful city.  You could spend you whole vacation just going thru the vatican museums and still not see it all.  A day spent seeing ancient Rome will just amaze you.  Seeing the colosseum, the forums, the palatine hill and the circus maximus is something you will never forget.  Visiting the Borghese gallery and seeing the incredible sculptures and paintings will amaze you.  When you walk inside the Pantheon you will stare, open mouthed, at the beauty of this building.  Yes, I would definetly go to Rome.  

My most recent trip was from Feb. 22- March 6 of 2007.  The weather was great.  It was unseasonably warm this year with the days being in the 70's.   Usually you can expect mid 60's for the day and high 40's for the evenings.  Just dress in layers.    As for tourist season, it is not high season but it is not low season either.  January is really low season but it is a bit colder.  You won't run into terrible crowds and the only line we came upon was at the colosseum.  We just went up to the Palatine hill ticket office and bought our ticket there.  It is a combo ticket good for both sites so we waited for about 15 minutes, bought our ticket, visited the palatine hill then went to the colosseum, bypassing the line.

Answer 6

The weather is TERRIBLE at that time.  Cold and rainy.  Please don't take a chance and ruin your vacation celebration and spend the high euro going at that time.  You and hubby can go somewhere else for your anniversary and go to Italy during the wamer months.  I've been to Italy during the exact time:  end of February through second week of March last year and had to purchase a down coat, gloves, scarf and sweaters.  Italy is an country that you have to do outdoors.  You walk to restaurants, walk to sites, walk to shops.  Your photos will be of grey clouds and rain.  You must have an umbrella!!  It is not fun in cold, wet weather in an outdoor country.  The end of February through second week of march is also spring-break for teeny boppers that are loud and congregate in large groups!  We could hear and hootin and hollarin all night.  Even the locals can't stand it.   How about Hawaii; the island of Kauai.  Lots to do and beautiful and romantic.  Or St. Thomas, St. Lucia.

Answer 7

March - Do Rome in March.... any further north you may find things to be wet and cold. Six nights in Rome aren't too many. It will give you a chance to relax and enjoy your anniversary. March is off season and so you should be able to find decent rates at some of Rome's better hotels. We here in Answers can't find you a hotel... you need to know what your budget is and then work things out via Google.

There will plenty to do for you in Rome and after a few days you may even want to take a train trip to one of the ner by cities - maybe even Naples! It's a maximum 2 hour train ride. Leave in the morning and have a PIZZA luch in Napoli. Yopu may even decide to visit the Amafi coast but you'll have to see hoe the weather plays out.

I've added some sights below that may help you out.

Where are you leaving from?

Wish you the best. I very much enjoy travelling Italy... and the ladies really enjoy shopping in Rome!
