Italy When to Go to Italy. Get Inspired for Your Next Vacation. Top Picks Paris Washington, D. In other words, August in Italy can have its pros and cons for travelers, depending on what your itinerary looks like and how heat-tolerant you are.
The important thing is to do some research so you know what August has in store for you before you land. Temperature averages are, by definition, constantly changing.

Anyone who is traveling with kids or works around school schedules knows that sometimes July and August are the only months available for that coveted family trip to Italy.
So, if you are planning a trip to Italy for an August vacation do not despair, you will most likely not even notice that many Italians are away on holiday.
August is indeed the traditional time that most Italians, and southern Europeans for that matter, go on their summer holiday. That being said, do not fret, as virtually every tourist destination on your bucket list will be open during the month of August.
Most businesses involved in the tourist industry such as hotels, trains, buses, ferries, and taxies will most certainly remain open.
Churches, museums and all of the other destinations sort out by tourists will also be open. The large businesses that do close are generally factories that close for routine annual maintenance and are not involved in the tourist industry. Keep in mind that while many Italians head to the beaches or the mountains for a reprieve from the summer heat, this is also one of the busiest tourist months for the country. Italians may love their wine and pasta, but they know where their bread and butter comes from, tourism.

And there are plenty of events, concerts and exhibits to make up for it. If you want to go to the beach, you'll find lots of company filling the sand. We'd recommend the first week or last week if August is your intended month to come.
