导读：意大利的4月不冷不热，游客不多，住宿和出行价格不高。此时旅行性价比高。
There may be a saying about “April showers bringing May flowers，” but April in Italy is more often marked by sun than by rain. Like any shoulder season month， of course， April weather is more uncertain overall than the summer or the winter. You’re far more likely to experience mild temperatures and sun instead of rain.
As is always the case in Italy， the temperatures rise as you head south. In April， this can mean that parts of northern Italy are still getting a bit of rain and cooler nights. It’s warm enough in southern Italy to have the locals worrying aloud about how hot the summer will get.
April weather， by and large， isn’t usually warm enough to have lots of beach time， but it’s usually sunny enough that you’ll be happy you packed your sunglasses and you’ll get plenty of use out of your walking shoes. Just don’t be surprised if a unexpected crazy rainstorm makes you have to buy an umbrella， or a moment inside a bar for safety. Be sure to check a present weather forecast for Italy before you leave home， as the weather can change.
As mentioned， April is still very much in Italy’s spring shoulder season， and shoulder seasons are widely thought of by travelers to be the best time to visit almost any place. Good weather and low prices always make them want to come.
You may pay less on a plane ticket to Italy if you visit in January or February， and your hotel in Italy may cost more in April than in March， but the prices are still lower in April than the highs they’ll reach during the summer. Not only that， if you’re paying attention far enough in advance you can often get winter-rate travel deals to Italy for dates in April simply by booking your trip a few months in advance.
Keep in mind that it’s important to find out when Easter is occurring， because traveling during Easter weekend can be troublesome with trains and buses running on a slower holiday schedule. Also note that in some places the Easter celebrations may higher the price of hotel rooms.
