January: It’s cold but if you bundle up you can enjoy the main cities Rome, Florence and Venice at great low season prices! Sunny Sicily is also nice to see at this time of year.

February: It’s Carnival time in Italy or as they call it in Italian Carnevale. Visit Italy during carnival time and enjoy the festivities.
