Italy in March or April?

Question

My wife and I are contemplating a trip to Italy next March or April. We live in NYC, so how will the weather compare?

Answer 1

april would be better than march, isnt it

Answer 2

It depends where in Italy you go to. The south, Rome and Naples and extending southwards could be pleasant - this year temperatures have been around 20 degrees centigrade.  In the north however, (Milan, Venice etc) March and April can still be chilly.  Unfortunately March is still quite and unpredicatable month.  I would say if you have some flexibility in timings, then go in April.

Im from London but I take every opportunity to visit that wonderful country. Enjoy

Answer 3

April would be better, another great time to go is October.

Answer 4

It's similar but a bit warmer in Italy, depending on where in Italy you go.  You can check the historical weather averages for various cities on this site: http://tinyurl.com/p9fx5

Answer 5

April might be a little warmer, but if you go in March you will beat a lot of the tourists. (I lived in Florence from Jan thru May, and they start coming in by the hords towards the end of March.)
