Peak Season:

Rome’s peak tourist season begins just before Easter (when the greatest number of visitors’ flock to the city) and runs through October. Rome is a popular holiday destination simply because of the sheer amount of attractions, so expect large numbers of visitors looking for accommodations and flights to Rome, especially during the major period from June through August. This is when the temperatures are the hottest and humidity at its highest, and the chance of rain is at a minimum. This does make it more difficult to find cheap flights to Rome although there are always a few gems stashed away that you might be able to find. August is when most Italians take their vacations, especially the last two weeks, so if you book your flights to Rome for this period, expect to see more tourists than locals, and for it to be quite crowded. You can however sit outside eating ice cream and take in the views. However, you may find that some hotels, restaurants, and shops are closed during this time. Easter can also be a fantastic time of year to visit the Vatican and churches, but the flights to Rome will be more expensive.

Off Season:

Most attractions either go on shorter winter hours or close for renovations from late October to Easter, and some hotels and restaurants are closed for a month or two between November and February. You’ll find the cheapest flights to Rome during this time, with the exceptions of Christmas, New Year and the Venice Carnival. If you’re not fazed by rain and cooler temperatures, then this could be the perfect time to get your flight tickets for. Also, during the winter months, especially January through March (before Easter), you can often get into the open attractions and sights without having to wait in line. Although the weather might not be the best, your experience could be as hotel rates are usually lower and you can embrace Rome without the hustle and bustle.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Rome, use this chart to help with planning.

Travelers looking to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 46.4 F).

When is the best time to book a flight to Rome?

Use this chart to determine the optimal time to book a round-trip flight to Rome. Price data was last updated on January 28, 2024.

Anytime is a good time to book flights to Rome, as this amazing city is a year-round destination. But you may want to factor in weather, budget and events when planning your trip. The shoulder seasons (April to June and September to October) are often the best times to visit in terms of weather with mild days and cool nights. For the best prices on hotels and flight tickets consider a visit in low season; March is a great time as long as it’s not Easter. Easter and Christmas are typically busy and expensive times to visit Rome and you’ll need to book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you’re hoping to get flights to Rome during the peak season, you’ll struggle to find cheap flights no matter when you book. That being said, try to start monitoring prices 6 months prior to when you want to fly if your schedule allows it. Sometimes an airline can drop prices 2 or 3 months before a particular date too. It’s a lot easier to find cheap flights to Rome if you want to visit during the off seasons, however it’s still recommended to book a few months in advance to save the most money.

A tip to consider when searching for your flights to Rome, or anywhere for that matter, is to sign up to a few airlines to receive newsletters. You might get lucky and receive discount codes which you can apply to your flights.

Rome Travel Guide

A visit to Rome, Italy marks the trip of a lifetime. Cheap flights to Rome are on every traveler’s wish list for the Italian capital is a must-visit city, one of those “see before you die” destinations. Rome is the center of culture, romance, arts and cuisine. From theatre acts to photographs, Rome is full of life and love – a feeling evident at the start of your Rome trip. From the moment you board the flight to Rome, it’s hard not to get swept away by the Italian way of life.

Brush up on your history during the long flight to the ancient city of Rome. From emperors to dictators, to musicians and artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, Rome has produced some of the most world-famous names in history. Immediately after flying to Rome you’ll realize there’s nothing more captivating than the “Eternal City.” Spread across seven hills and located on the River Tiber, Rome (Roma) once served as the main port of the Roman Empire, and today is the seat of the Italian government and home to the Vatican. Rome flights are packed with first-time travelers to Italy and distant relatives heading home for a family reunion. Whether the trip to Rome takes you on an exploration of Renaissance buildings and cobblestone piazzas, or closer to a home-cooked Italian meal across the river, the flight to Rome will be unforgettable.

If your Rome flight leaves you longing to stretch your legs, you’re in luck. Rome is an easily walkable city, so pack your best pair of walking shoes and head to the streets and soak up the atmosphere where it’s at its best. First-time visitors will certainly want snapshots of must-see sights including the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the romantic Piazza Navona, to name just a few. Travelers booking airline tickets to Rome will find the Vatican – a city-state surrounded by Rome which is the religious center of the Roman Catholic faith and home to the Pope – directly across the river. The devout still make a pilgrimage to Rome to visit the Vatican City. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums attract millions of visitors each year. Michelangelo designed the dome (there are 323 steps to the top to enjoy heart-stoppingly beautiful views of Rome) and, perhaps most famously, painted the frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. After a blessing at the Vatican, stroll the streets of Trastevere and dine on fine cuisine at small wine bars and sidewalk cafes. Alternatively, hop on the metro, bus or tram, as the city has a well-established public transport network that covers all sections. There are plenty of great day trips from Rome, including Ostia Antica which is a fascinating ancient port city on the outskirts and just a short train ride, and Villa D’Este in Tivoli, which is a must ­see with its fantastic fountains.

But there is more to Rome than a rich history. Surely, a trip to Rome will give you the opportunity to see some of the earliest artifacts in the world, but Rome also boasts a lively modern lifestyle. One minute you’re staring at the Colosseum, where gladiators once fought, and finding your way through the Roman Forum, the next minute you’re fighting crowds in line at one of the city’s many pizzerias.

Book a cheap trip to Rome and experience some of the best sidewalk sophistication in the world. Take a break while you’re in the Eternal City and pull up a chair at one of the many cafes around Rome. Sip limoncello and watch the world go by before you board your plane back home. From open-air café’s full of people sipping cappuccino to theatrical piazzas, wooded parks, gushing fountains where the locals stroll and meet up to ‘chiacchierare’ (chat), and fashionable boutiques packed full of couture clothes, there’s something for everyone in Rome. Whether you find a cheap flight to Rome for an impromptu journey or plan a jam-packed Roman vacation, the trip to Rome will be unforgettable. Here are some tips to help you plan and enjoy the smoothest possible trip to this beautiful city.

Getting to and around the city of Rome

International flights to Rome land at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO), or simply Rome Fiumicino Airport, also known as just Fiumicino Airport. A second airport, Rome’s Ciampino Airport (CIA), was Italy’s busiest transport hub until 1960 when Leonardo Da Vinci International (Fiumicino) was built. However, low-cost airlines – and several recent upgrades – have revitalized Ciampino Airport and it now welcomes more than four million passengers each year. Flights to and from Ciampino Airport are mainly provided by low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and easyJet, which offer quick, inexpensive connections to major European destinations. The airport is a good option if you are planning on traveling elsewhere in Europe.

Once your flight from the U.S. lands at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, it is about 16 miles or so southwest of the center of Rome, meaning you can’t take a stroll to the center. A popular option to travel there is the Leonardo Express. It’s the direct train that goes between the airport and the city center every thirty minutes. You can catch the train from Stazione Termini, at track 24. You’ll need to buy a ticket and get it validated before you travel, and tickets are more expensive from the departure station than from the Termini news stand. From Stazione Termini you can connect with the metro and public bus service. There is also a bus service to Stazione Termini from the airport.

Another option is to take one of Rome’s white taxis, they are on a fixed price, and are plentiful outside of the arrivals area. The other option is to get a bus, either a regular local transport one (you can buy your tickets from any tobacco shop – Tabaccheria) which picks you up outside terminals B & C, or to jump on the Terravision shuttle bus. This is more expensive but has a direct route to the center of Rome. Lastly, around half a dozen car rental companies have desks at the airport or you can book online before you arrive.

Once you’ve settled in to your hotel and are ready to explore, you’ll realize that you don’t want to try driving a car or motorbike in Rome. The historic center of the city is easily managed on foot – and it really is the best way to experience the city – and many streets don’t allow cars. Where the streets are open, traffic is heavy and congested and local drivers have little patience. You’ll enjoy the city on foot, especially if you have some comfy walking shoes to make your way over the cobblestones. 

For longer distances, take advantage of the public transportation system, the Metrebus or Metro. You can find subway entrances by looking for a big red “M.” Most of the popular attractions have subway stops nearby and trains run from 5:30am until 11:30pm. On Saturdays trains run an extra hour until 12:30am. For after-hours travel, hop on a night bus, which run from 12:30am to 5:30am. Look for stops marked with an owl. The daytime buses and trams start running at 5:30am. You won’t get anywhere fast, but at least you can soak up some of the city while you get around. You’ll need to buy bus and metro tickets before you board.

Lastly, if you are tempted to get a taxi, flag down a white or yellow taxi. These are the official metered cabs. Bicycles are available to rent or you could hire a Vespa to see the sights in time-honored Roman style.

Tips for your stay in Rome

  • If you’re in Rome in September, don’t miss La Notte Bianca (“the white night”) when all of Rome stays open until dawn. Most of the museums and galleries have free entry all night long and it’s the only chance to see behind the normally closed doors at some public buildings, such as the stunning Palazzo Farnese, home of the French Embassy.
  • If you’re in Rome just to see the Sistine Chapel – however unlikely that is – make sure to get there and join the line early – at least an hour before the museums open at 8.45am. Once you’re inside, sprint all the way to the Sistine Chapel. To walk around normally and look at all the other works of art would take at least a couple of hours. If you’re lucky, and quick enough, you might get to see it on your own.
  • Rome is the place for shopping. If you’re on the hunt for bargains, steer clear of the Via dei Condotti and visit Via del Governo Vechhio and Porta Portese, the weekend market in the Trastevere district. Both are boutiquey and trendy and have second-hand clothes, knick-nacks, and junk at reasonable prices.
  • If you want to look Italian, don’t order a cappuccino after your meal. Despite being one of Italy’s most famous exports, a cappuccino would only be drunk by the Romans at breakfast and never at any other time of the day. No matter how well you speak the language, ordering a cappuccino after supper is a giveaway sign that you’re a tourist.
  • When the city gets too much, Villa Pamphili is a perfect spot to relax. Its landscaped gardens are a favorite of many Romans. 
  • From the Aventine Hill, one of Rome’s seven hills, there are beautiful views of the Vatican and the Tiber. 
  • Il Gelato Di San Crispino is renowned as having Rome’s best ice-cream. Join the line on the Via del Panetteria. 
  • In a city of masterpiece-stuffed museums, the Scuderie Del Quirinale makes for a nice change. The museum focuses on modern art. 
  • The Vatican Museums offer free admission on the last Sunday of every month. If you are planning on taking cheap flights to Rome, try to pencil this in.

  • What should you pack for a flight to Rome?

    To get the most enjoyment out of a trip to Rome, it’s important to pack for the season. Temperatures from late fall to early spring can be cool, so pack a hat, gloves and a scarf. It’s also a good idea to bring your winter coat and long sleeves. Rome is known for its afternoon showers so be sure to pack an umbrella or rain coat. In the summer, temperatures are high and the air dry, so be sure to pack light clothes as the city can get quite sweltering. Uneven cobblestone streets are best navigated in comfortable footwear, so opt for a pair of well-made athletic shoes when sightseeing during the day. Opt for fashionable choices for evening.

  • What are some things to do in Rome?

    History buffs have plenty of attractions to visit and enjoy in Rome. The Trevi Fountain is one of the most popular tourist spots in the area. This sculpted fountain offers a beautiful waterfall built right in the center of town. Built during the 15th century, the fountain is the largest and most impressive Baroque structure standing as much as 85 feet tall and 65 feet wide, which makes it the perfect spot for pictures. Other popular historic sites to consider are the Roman Forum, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Colosseum – of course – and the Pantheon. Foodies can get their fill at one of the many sidewalk cafes and restaurants located near the city center. Sample the fresh baked bread at the daily market and pair it with a choice of olive oils or balsamic vinegar. Spend some time relaxing in an authentic pizza parlor, or sample some fresh gelato. Walk around the San Lorenzo district and stroll through the unique boutiques or stop and have a drink or a bite of chocolate at one of the quaint shops. The Vatican is one of the busiest sites in the area. Whether you are Catholic or not, you will agree the place is magical. Visit the Sistine Chapel and stand in awe at the frescoes that decorate the interior. The city is alive at night with plenty of entertainment options. Take a Vespa tour or view some of the buildings lit up under the stars. For those who enjoy excitement and the thrill of being outdoors, climb the Monte Mario and see Rome from a different vantage point. You can also rent a bike and explore the area along the Tiber River.
