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

As a recommendation, dress in layers. As temperatures can vary throughout the day, it’s a good idea to wear layers that you can add or remove as needed. A light jacket or cardigan is a good option for cooler mornings or evenings.

Also, it is better to bring a hat and sunglasses. Although September is not as hot as July or August, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses is still important to protect yourself from the sun.

Remember to wear comfortable shoes. Choose comfortable shoes for walking around, as Rome is a city that’s best explored on foot. Sneakers or breathable closed-toe shoes are good options.

Importantly, you should bring sunscreen and insect repellent. Protect your skin with a high-SPF sunscreen and bring insect repellent, as mosquitoes can still be a problem in Rome in September.

In addition, consider dressing modestly. If you plan on visiting churches or other religious sites, it’s important to dress modestly by covering your shoulders and legs.

Overall, it’s best to dress in comfortable layers to help you stay comfortable throughout the day. Finally, remember to keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water and bringing an umbrella or raincoat for occasional showers.

September is the best time for walks outside because of its warm weather. Consider traveling to beautiful Roman Castelli or Tivoli to visit famous villas.
