Rome in late May?

[Mountaina]

Is Rome worth visiting in late May?

We are considering taking DM to Rome for her 65th retirement gift.

Will late May be too hot for walking around? We can also go late April as a second option?

Also, is it a walkable city? Where should we stay? I looked at AirBnBs near the Vatican, which seem like a good price.

It will be me, DH and DM.

@ElleDeeCB thanks for all your help. Do you know San Polo in Venice? Found a nice AirBnB here x

Yes you will be right in the thick of it there, but have a good think about how you will get your bags to your accommodation as it’s hard work dragging suitcases over the little bridges.

I love Rome in the late spring! It's the best time of the year to visit. Lovely weather without excessive heat, fewer tourists, cheaper prices and friendlier Romans.😉

Venice would be perfect. Went with a friend who has arthritis and we bought the waterbus pass. Lots of places to stop for a snack or a drink, and nowhere is far from a waterbus stop
