Rome and Naples are Italy&#8217;s two major cities that\u00a0enjoy the mildest winter climates.

Up in the mountains you can enjoy the snow, while in other regions you might get rain instead &#8211; though usually not enough to ruin a trip, provided you have a raincoat and\/or umbrella. The one exception to this is Venice, which can experience its notorious <em>acqua alta<\/em>\u00a0 during the winter. This is when a combination\u00a0of wind and tides push so much water into the Venetian lagoon that the streets of La Serenissima actually flood. It might be an inch or two or water, or it might be a foot. In these cases\u00a0&#8211; which are blessedly rare &#8211; the only thing to do is strap on a good pair of boots and get wading.

Italians don\u2019t let the cold stop them from strolling the streets, chatting at outdoor tables and enjoying their favorite outdoor sports year round. Their secret? Layers! This means a thick cotton or wool undershirt or tank top, then your long sleeve shirt, sweater, huge winter jacket, chic boots and of course scarf, hat and gloves. This doesn\u2019t mean you have to feel puffy under all those layers though. Choose your fabrics wisely and dress for your body shape and you\u2019ll look as chic as a born Milanese. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Want to be sure you look as chic as an Italian?

This is good news for those visiting Italy in the winter, as prices will be significantly lower and you&#8217;ll be able to see the sights with far fewer crowds. From mid-November until about Easter time, excluding a rush near Christmas, you&#8217;ll be able to escape the cold, whiling away the hours in your favorite Italian museums and churches without the usual line push or time rush caused by the huge summer crowds. Unlike some other European countries, Italy&#8217;s major attractions don&#8217;t close during the winter excluding a few days around Christmas, so you&#8217;ll still have your pick of the best. The high accommodation prices encountered during the high season will calm down and the often expensive peninsula will feel like your\u00a0own budget destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skiing_and_Sunbathing\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Skiing and Sunbathing<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Italy&#8217;s unique geography means that after you&#8217;re done skiing in the Alps, you can head down the coast to the still relatively warm south to find heat even in the middle of winter \u2013 especially in sunny Sicily.

Though it is colder in the morning and night, it&#8217;s still\u00a0plenty warm when compared to North American or Northern European temperatures.
