My husband and I are planning a ten-day trip to Italy in September, is this a good time to visit?

How exciting, September is a wonderful time to visit Italy!  It is the final month of Summer in Italy when many local residents are returning to work or school which means that many of the more popular destinations will be much more accessible than if you were to visit during June, July or August.  You may still find a number of tourists visiting through the first half of the month as the weather is milder than in the height of the summer.  You will find plenty of beautiful sunny days so pack your shades and sunscreen and enjoy the many wonderful sights across the region.  Note that within the northern areas of Italy,  the weather does becomes progressively chillier in the evenings towards the end of the month so it's a good idea to pack a lightweight jacket to be sure you're protected from the elements during your visit.  To you and your husband, buon viaggio!
