Should You Visit ITALY in JANUARY? The TRUTH About Winter Travel
Thinking about visiting Italy in January? This episode uncovers the real truth about winter travel in Italy - what the weather feels like, how the crowds change, what actually stays open, and why this season offers a completely different, and often more intimate, experience of the country. From quiet Roman streets and peaceful museums in Florence to the misty canals of Venice and the snowy beauty of the Dolomites, January reveals an Italy that most travelers never see.
I'll tell you about the balance between the charm and the challenges: colder days, earlier sunsets, and some seasonal closures, but also lower prices, easier reservations, empty landmarks, and a slower rhythm that lets you experience Italy the way locals do. Whether you’re drawn to art, food, culture, or simply the idea of seeing Italy without the chaos of high season, this episode will help you decide if winter is the right moment for your trip.
If intentional, immersive, beautifully designed travel is what you crave, at Fabulous Vita we create bespoke journeys to Italy, Greece, and France throughout the year. Each hotel, restaurant, experience, and transfer is handpicked so you can simply arrive and enjoy the moments most travelers miss - https://fabulousvita.com
After listening, you might find yourself dreaming of a quieter, deeper version of Italy, one that belongs only to those who choose to see it in winter.
