What is considered peak tourist season in italy?
The most crowded period is July/August when also Italians (frankly not so many) are adding to the too many foreign tourists in the visit of Italian highlights in that period.Also trains and the roads might be really full in particular dates and affording a trip to Italy in such a period it’s a bet without not too many chances. On the contrary,and I’ve suggested it all the times when I’ve posted my answers on this argument, the best period to visit Italy goes either from early May to end June if you don’t suffer too much for possible hot weather or from late September to end October if you don’t mind for possible rains/showers. Therefore yr choice is depending on yr “preferences” (even if we are just speaking now about probabilities being impossible to everybody any ‘sure’ longterm weather’s forecast) but I would say that the period you’re considering sounds good to me. Enjoy Italy anyhow…!!
