When is the best time to visit Rome?<\/h3>\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear right away: Rome is a VERY popular tourist destination. No matter when you visit, you should expect crowds and long lines (which is why Captain Ulysses recommends booking your tickets and tours in advance<\/strong><\/a>). <\/p>\n\n

Unsurprisingly, summer is when Rome sees the largest number of tourists. The temperatures can soar past 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F), but summer also brings long days and a vibrant cultural scene, with festivals and events happening all over the city. <\/p>\n\n
