Things to Look Out For
The evening passeggiata
Around six, before dinner, every Italian town empties into its main street and central piazza. Families, grandparents, teenagers, all walking slowly in their good clothes for no reason but to be seen and to see. Join it. Order an aperitivo, stand at the bar (it costs less than sitting), and watch a town do what it has done every evening for centuries.
Coperto and the bill
Most restaurants add a per-head cover charge, the coperto, usually two to four euros. For the bread and the table. It's normal, not a scam, and tipping on top is not expected the way it is at home; round up if the service was warm. Cappuccino after eleven in the morning will mark you as a tourist, but no one will stop you.
Pre-book the big sights
The Vatican Museums, the Uffizi in Florence, the Accademia for Michelangelo's David, the Colosseum. All of them sell timed-entry tickets, and in season the on-the-day queues run two and three hours in full sun. Book the slot before you fly. The skip-the-line difference is the single biggest comfort upgrade on an Italian trip.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
The Italian windows are spring and early autumn, April to June, then September and October. When the cities are warm but walkable, the light is long, and the August crowds have gone. July and August are hot, expensive, and half-shuttered: Italians take their own holidays then, and many city restaurants close while the coast and lakes fill. November to March is cool and quiet, good for the museums and the food but short on daylight.
