November in Rome
In November it is worth staying a little longer in Rome. The high season is over and room prices are cheaper. It is definitely worth looking for accommodation in the center, because there you are not so dependent on public transport. You can read how to find a cheap room and which areas are good in our information about Hotels in Rome.
How warm it is
Enjoy the warmth in Rome during the day. Temperatures in November are on average 10°C higher than in northern Europe. In the morning the air is cold and there may be fog, during the day it is pleasantly warm, especially in the first half of the month. From the middle of the month, temperatures do not rise above 20°C. In November there may be occasional rain. The rain usually does not last long, but it is very intense. Within a few minutes everything is flooded and you have to look for a shelter. After 15 or 30 minutes, usually rain is over. Rarely it rains for more days.

Since you spend a lot of time outdoors in Rome, you have to be flexible. On the one hand, it will still be quite warm during the day in the first half of the month, but on the other hand, it will be cold by Roman standards in the evening. You should also have a rain cape with you. Comfortable shoes are also important in Rome, as you will be walking a lot and the sidewalks are often bumpy.
When visiting the sacred sites, including the catacombs and the Vatican Museums, shoulders and knees must be covered.
What’s on
November is low season in Rome. The Romans are at work and there is a lot of traffic. With a bit of luck there can be fog in the morning. You will be the envy of photos of fog on St. Peter’s Square.
There is a lot of art and culture and of course good food. You can enjoy the long evenings in a cozy restaurant with a good bottle of wine between appetizer and dessert, plunge into the life of Trastevere or Campo de’ Fiori, or admire the details of the Trevi Fountain while listening to the sound of the water.
