Rome in June is perfect sightseeing weather, but it isn’t always quite as warm as you might expect, especially at the start of the month.

So, as well as bringing a good selection of lighter clothing, like cotton t-shirts, light pants, maxi/midi dresses or skirts, you’ll want some slightly heavier options as well. Think a cardigan or light jacket and definitely a scarf or two, so that you can put these on to stay comfortable when it’s cooler.
