Local context
What to expect in April
🎯 Easter at the Vatican — papal mass and Urbi et Orbi blessing Spring marks the start of the good season in Rome. Temperatures rise (20°C) and tourists have not yet arrived en masse. Expect rain on 33% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. A good balance between weather and crowds, even if June (8.9/10) remains theoretically better.
