Best Time to Visit Naples
Recommended: Apr to Jun
When to go
April-June and September-October: warm enough for coast day trips, cool enough to walk Pompeii's shadeless ruins without wilting. July-August is brutally hot and Amalfi-bound traffic clogs the coast roads. Winter is mild and quiet but some coastal boats stop running.
Month by month in Italy
Naples sits in Italy, so the country's broader seasonal pattern applies. April-June and September-October give warm weather without peak summer heat or crowds. July-August is hottest and busiest, especially on the coast and in Venice. Winter is cold, quiet, and cheap for museums.
Mar-MayMild, blooming, before the summer crowds and heat arrive. Best value shoulder season.
Jun-AugHot, humid, peak prices and crowds, especially Venice, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast.
Sep-OctWarm days, cooler nights, harvest season in Tuscany, fewer tourists than summer.
Nov-FebCold and wet, especially in the north, but cheap flights, hotels, and short museum lines.
