+Noticeably quieter with better value than the peak season.

–Cooler temperatures and a higher chance of rain.

Museums, long lunches and Rome without the crush.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
