How people dress in Rome
- July and August highs average around 33 °C, so light, breathable clothing, a hat and a water bottle are essential for sightseeing.
- St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and other churches require covered shoulders and knees, so a light scarf or shawl helps on hot days.
- Winters are mild, with highs of 12–14 °C, but damp, so a medium-weight coat and an umbrella are usually enough.
- Cobblestones cover much of the historic centre, so sturdy shoes with good grip beat thin-soled sandals.
- October and November are the rainiest months, with 11–13 wet days, so pack a compact umbrella or rain jacket for autumn trips.
