November is our #3 crowd-light pick for Rome

November ranks as #3 for crowd-light timing in Rome because November is quieter than spring, early autumn and Christmas, while still giving Rome enough cultural depth to avoid feeling empty. The trade-off: It is quieter partly because the weather is wetter and less scenic.
