Fortunately, with some clever strategies, you can stay cool while enjoying the landscapes, beauty and culture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you out, Clarisse, an Italian native and expert Travel Director, shares her top tips to staying cool in this magnificent country.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Seek Coolness in Churches and Cathedrals<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne excellent way to escape the heat of Italy in the summer is by visiting the country\u2019s numerous stunning churches and cathedrals. As the heart of Catholicism, Italy boasts some of the best, including iconic landmarks like St. Peter\u2019s Basilica the Vatican City and the Milan Duomo. These churches provide a cooler refuge, and a treasure trove of delights, each reflecting Italy&#8217;s rich history, artistry and spiritual significance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really love the Church of Santa Maria della Piet\u00e0 in Venice, formerly an orphanage where composer Antonio Vivaldi taught music. Here you can cool off with spectacular concerts that hosts draw visitors to its serene interiors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen in Rome, don&#8217;t miss St. Pietro in Vincoli, a hidden gem featuring Michelangelo&#8217;s statue of Moses and relics of St. Peter. While, for art lovers, the Church of St. Louis of the French showcases stunning Caravaggio paintings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAdditionally, public parks provide shaded areas for relaxation and a breath of fresh air.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Opt for Granita Over Gelato<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen it comes to refreshing treats in Italy in the summer, swap gelato for granita\u2014a delightful slushie alternative. Ensure your granita is made with real fruit juice rather than syrup for the best flavor. Try freshly squeezed fruit juices, like &#8220;centrifuga,&#8221; which extract pure juice from fruits, watermelon, which has a high water content, is a perfect choice. Or enjoy a glass of Italian lemonade made with just lemon juice and icy water. Sip these drinks slowly though when they&#8217;re very cold to avoid thermal shock and stomachaches!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor a delightful twist, as you are in the land of coffee, try &#8220;crema al caff\u00e8,&#8221; a cold, foamy coffee blend served in a cup that can be savored with a spoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Explore Milder Regions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA country with such varied topogrpahy, if travelling to Italy in the summer consider visiting regions where the temperatures are milder. Coastal towns benefit from refreshing sea breezes, making destinations like Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast pleasant options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe enchanting island of Capri provides a lovely escape with gorgeous views and cooler temperatures. Likewise, mountainous areas or the hilly countryside of Tuscany offer a reprieve from the heat.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Sightsee Early or Late<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo avoid the midday heat, plan your sightseeing for the early morning or opt for unique nighttime tours. Italians often venture out only after 4:30 p.m., (as many shops close from 1.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m), which in turn sees social life flourish in the cooler evenings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cVisiting iconic sites like the Colosseum at night is a magical experience; the illuminated ruins create a stunning atmosphere and offer a more tranquil experience without the daytime crowds.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Choose Dining Wisely<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen dining out in Italy in the summer, consider the restaurant&#8217;s location and setting. Many restaurants provide air conditioning, but opting for an outdoor terrace in the evening makes for a beatiful dining experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLook for restaurants located by the water for a cooling breeze, or choose eateries situated at higher altitudes, especially in picturesque Tuscany, where temperatures tend to be lower.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Enjoy Your Hotel\u2019s Amenities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTake advantage of your hotel\u2019s amenities during the hottest parts of the day. Relaxing by the pool, enjoying a spa treatment, or simply lounging in a shaded area or on your balcony if you have one can be excellent ways to stay cool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSuperior 4 and 5 star hotels are a hallmark of Insight Vactions\u2019 tours, with premium facilities to ensure you remain refreshed and ready for your adventures in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Dress Like An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/en-us\/destinations\/europe\/italy\">Italian<\/a>: Comfortable and Stylish<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cItaly in the summer offers abundant inspiration for dressing comfortably yet stylishly. Chic yet practical outfits are on show all around you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOpt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen and avoid dark colors and tight-fitting clothes that can trap heat. Choose lightweight outfits that allow for airflow and consider bringing a cotton scarf to keep your neck cool; it can double as a hat or shoulder cover for added sun protection. With a little creativity, you can enjoy looking chic while staying comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Minimize Your Load<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen exploring Italy, avoid heavy backpacks that can lead to unnecessary sweating. Stick to the essentials for a comfortable day out. Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated, sun protection, and a lightweight folded umbrella for shade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA magic towel, a compressed dry towel that expands when dampened, can also come in handy. I always have a thermal water spray, which I keep in the fridge overnight and carry with me during the day for a refreshing spritz.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Stay Hydrated<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is essentail to hydrate frequently to keep you refreshed and energized while exploring the magnificent sights of Italy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s common for people to drink mineral bottled water in Italy, rarely do we ask for \u00a0tap water in restaurants. When you order coffee at a bar, it\u2019s customary to request a glass of water &#8211; an excellent way to stay hydrated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn Rome and other cities, you&#8217;ll find public drinking fountains, providing refreshing and drinkable water for anyone in need. This is particularly important in Venice, where fresh water is a precious resource.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDuring heatwaves, it&#8217;s not unusual to see firemen using hoses to spray water on the streets to cool them down, creating impromptu \u201cbarefoot parties\u201d as passersby delight in having the cool water gently spread on their feet and legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> Enjoy Swimming in Italy\u2019s Magnificent Lakes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cItaly&#8217;s warm summer months provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy its stunning lakes, where you can cool off while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Lake Maggiore, with its crystal-clear waters and charming lakeside towns like Stresa and Baveno, is a favourtite. You can take a refreshing swim or rent a boat to explore the hidden coves. All the while the surrounding mountains provide a stunning backdrop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italy in the summer can be breathtaking, but it also brings soaring temperatures.
