What to Pack for Italy in April, and How do People Dress in Rome?

As for dressing tips, it is recommended to bring layers that you can easily put on or take off as the temperature changes throughout the day. This will also allow you to adapt to the indoor/outdoor temperature changes.

You will need a jacket or sweater. A light jacket or sweater is always a good idea to keep you warm during the evenings or if the temperature drops unexpectedly.

One of the most important things to take with you is comfortable shoes. Rome has many cobblestone streets and uneven pavements, so comfortable walking shoes are necessary. Sneakers, flats, or low-heeled boots are all great options.

Moreover, bring a scarf and hat. April weather in Rome can be unpredictable, so it’s always a good idea to get a scarf and a hat to protect yourself from rain or wind. Likewise, with an umbrella or rain jacket. There is a chance of precipitation in April, so bringing a small umbrella or a rain jacket is always a good idea.

Moreover, you will need sunglasses and sunscreen. The sun can be quite strong in Rome, even in April, so remember to pack sunglasses and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.

Important: If you plan to visit churches or other religious sites, dress modestly by covering your shoulders and knees.

Overall, the key is to dress comfortably and in layers to enjoy your time in Rome regardless of the weather.

April is one of the best months for early morning walks. I recommend you consider a walking tour around Rome at sunrise.
