Rome weather reviews

Angela, May 2023
Everything would be fine if it weren’t for the constant rains, the weather spoiled the feeling of the vacation. The air during the day warmed up by + 16-20°C, sometimes a little warmer, at night it became significantly colder + 13-15°C, especially after the dampness. Of course, we visited the Colosseum - the calling card of Rome, perhaps the main attraction of all of Italy. There is truly some kind of majestic and magical atmosphere there; it is incredibly beautiful and pleasant to touch history. The Vatican is fascinating, it’s something, I really liked it, you need to go there.
