Italy is beautiful at any time of the year. But November provides ideal conditions for a closer acquaintance with this country. Firstly, the prices for vacations are significantly reduced. Secondly, the flow of tourists is decreasing, which cannot but please the lovers of a calm, measured rest.
Weather
In Italy, as in other Mediterranean countries, the beach season is coming to an end. The water cools down to + 18C, only the most seasoned tourists swim. In the northern resorts, the sea water is even colder.
The air temperature warms up to + 20C in Sicily, while in Rome it reaches only + 17C. But for many hours of walking around the capital or other cities of a wonderful state, such weather is simply ideal, which cannot be said about the exhausting summer heat. And tanning at this time is much more useful than at the height of summer. If you have to walk around the city at night, then you cannot do without a warm jacket, because the thermometer drops to + 13C, and in some areas to + 5C. You should always have an umbrella with you, because it rains in Italy in November almost every day. But short-lived.
Excursions
Do not think that since a beach vacation in Italy in November is impossible, then there is nothing to do here. There are so many attractions here that a year will not be enough to get to know them. A few days that you can devote to rest will be very eventful.
In Italy there are not only historical monuments, but also natural ones. Lakes, mountains, islands, valleys - all this looks just fabulous in November. And even a light autumn rain will not become a hindrance for true connoisseurs of beauty.
Cuisine, holidays, festivals
It is simply unforgivable to visit Italy and not learn the culinary delights of local chefs. Indeed, in this case, you can dispel the myth that Italians eat only pasta. The cuisine here is very diverse and rich in seafood. Culinary festivals are held in different cities. The truffle harvesting season is in full swing in the northern regions of the country. San Miniato hosts a festival of these mushrooms every weekend. You can not only taste any of them, but also take part in master classes of leading chefs in cooking.
One of the most famous holidays in November is All Saints Day. On this day, solemn services and costume processions are held.
