You may be surprised, but popular among our tourists month of August is extremely unfavorable for travel to Italy.
In summer it is very hot and stuffy, and therefore sightseeing tours in Italy will be just unbearable. At the beach resorts also have to constantly hide from the sun.
As an alternative, you can consider thermal resorts in Italy. The most popular ones include Grado, Montecatini Terme, and Abano Terme. Here, you can hide from the heat in local parks or spend the hottest hours in a spa salon.
If the heat doesn't scare you, you can certainly consider beach tours to Italy in August 2016. Moreover, most local hotels have air conditioning, so you can always wait out the midday hours in your hotel room.
We recommend that families with children travel to Italy for vacation at the end of August when the air temperature drops slightly (+30°C). By that time, the water has warmed up throughout the summer to around +27°C, allowing even the youngest travelers to swim.
