If you're visiting Rome in summer, you've probably heard you shouldn't. I disagree. After more than 25 summers here, I can tell you the city slows way down, locals leave, and there's a quiet to Rome you won't find any other time of year. In this video, I'll walk you through the weather month by month, what to pack, how to structure your day around the heat, the events worth planning around, and the best things to do in summer.
