  • Italy in August 2016 – "Italians take their holidays in August, and you will find beaches and cooler mountain towns overcrowded with Italian vacationers. There will be less people in major cities such as Florence, Milan, and Venice, as much of the locals would have gone on holiday, so these are the best places to visit if you want some peace and quiet. You should avoid the sweltering mid-day heat of August in Italy and relish instead in the night-time entertainment, such as dance, music, and theatre. In the big cities, prices are also slightly lower relative to the past three months, and the traffic is much better." – "About" – Source: VAMORO – "where & when to travel"
  • So You Want to Travel to Italy in August? (Free Italy Travel Advice) – "The entire city of Rome shuts down. It’s difficult to find a spot of empty sand on any beach.

I’ll share some tips below to help cope with the heat but the biggest thing is just to accept the heat. Aside from that, there are actually benefits to traveling to Italy in August. Yes, most Italians take their holidays for the month of August and head south to the sea or north to the mountains, so the cities will have less traffic. Hallelujah! Another bonus of the locals running from the cities? You can find good deals on hotels. It’s another story if you’re hoping for a mountain or sea vacation, though. Prices shoot up for hotels, flights, restaurants, and even souvenirs in the north and south of Italy so keep that in mind for your dream holiday in the land of la dolce vita.
