Best time to see Italy?

D G-

In which part of Italy do your relatives live? If up north, go maybe in early summer. If down south or Sicily, go in the spring.

I'm sure there are hundreds of us on this board (myself included) who would be happy to give you advice on where to go and what to see in bella Italia.

Have fun -- it's one of my favorite countries to visit. Even better if you have family there.

I spent a lot of time there recently (the CEO's daughter was living there)The best time is in late Sept/early Oct. It's still warm enough to do everything that you could have done in Aug but the crowds are long gone.

Sicily is great in the spring if you can stand the geep crap smell, anyone ever stuck in Sig (VP-16) can tell ya. Early fall is nice in the grappa areas cheap vino from the wine sumps, bring a bottle and fill it relatively cheaply.

Enjoy

SF you can't afford to go!

I like to go to Europe in Sept. Most of the tourist have gone home and the weather is still quite warm.
