Spring
Spring in Rome can be dreamily warm, or it can be weirdly wintery – usually it’s a bit of both. With glorious wisteria flowers cascading over walls and pergolas, and the Judas trees in bloom, this is when you’ll see the city at its lushest. Easter brings throngs for religious festivities, including the pope’s Stations of the Cross in the Colosseum during Settimana Santa on Good Friday.
