A Summer Packing List For Men Who Are Coming To Rome

Finding a summer packing list for men coming to Rome can be a challenge because most are focused on women so I wanted to offer a complete guide for the guys.

Packing for a trip to Rome is an exciting time, but if you are stressed about making sure you pack everything you might need, one thing to keep in mind is that Rome, and really all of the major cities in Italy, are very modern economies that will have anything you might need. This is another way of saying: Beyond a few things, like medicine or your computer, you can buy everything here if you forget to pack something, so don’t stress.

I previously wrote about a complete packing list for men who are coming to Rome, and you should DEFINITELY check it out. This article is more of a seasonal list of items you should consider bringing, in addition to that general list of items in the other article. 

What Should Men Wear In Rome In The Summer?

There are a number of things to consider when packing for a summer in Rome and the most important one is that you are traveling in the summer heat. As rule of thumb you will want to consider how your shoes, head (or hat) and pants will fare in the intense summer heat of Rome.

Stability on the cobblestones will also be important. For me, sneakers are the best. Regarding a hat, you will need to remove your hat when entering religious sites, but most of these are indoors and not a problem.

Shorts are the best thing to wear, but keep in mind that “officially” you can’t wear shorts in a church or basilica, but I have yet to see this rule enforced for men or women.

What Is The Weather In Rome In The Summer?

When I am referring to the summer, I mean the months of June, July and August, which is the most popular and hottest period of tourism in Rome. The weather in Rome in June is hot and getting hotter. The average low temperatures in Rome in June are delightful at 60°F (16°C) and the average high temperatures are still a comfortable 81°F (27°C).

Rome in July is hot and it should not be underestimated. The average low temperatures in Rome in July are delightful at 65°F (18°C) and the average high temperatures are a comfortable 87°F (30°C). The weather in Rome in August is as hot as it gets and it should be accounted for. The average low temperatures in Rome in August are delightful at 65°F (18°C) and the average high temperatures are a comfortable 87°F (30°C).
