What is the best time to visit Bologna?

The best time to visit Bologna for a balance of good weather and fewer crowds is during the shoulder seasons of spring, from April to June, and autumn, from September to October. These months offer pleasant temperatures, ranging from 10 to 25°C, and the opportunity to explore the city without the peak summer crowds.

July and August are the peak season of summer, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. These months bring a lively atmosphere to the city. Outdoor events, festivals, and al fresco dining are common. However, it can be crowded, especially in August when many locals go on vacation.

December to February brings winters that are relatively mild compared to other parts of Europe. While winter is the low tourist season, it has its charm. The city is less crowded, and you can experience a more local and authentic atmosphere. It's a great time to enjoy indoor attractions, local cuisine, and holiday markets.
