Italy is a popular tourist attraction because of its history, fashion scene and beaches. With the proper planning, a trip to Italy can cost you very little.
When planning your trip, decide whether you are interested in traveling to the north or south of Italy. The southern part is cheaper to visit because it has fewer well-known cities. The northern part is where you will find places like Milan and Venice.
If you travel to Italy between July and August you will pay the most because this is the peak season. Avoid traveling during these months to save money.
In May-June and September-August you will find the best deals and fewest people because it is considered "off season." Some attractions during this time may close earlier, but you will beat the crowds and save a lot of money.
Those looking to travel to Italy to go skiing should think about going at the beginning of December. This is not the peak skiing season, but it is appropriate weather in the mountains to ski.
When planning your trip to Italy consider taking a budget airline. These airlines have no extra perks, but they travel to major cities in Europe for a fraction of the cost.
