Florence and Venice in January
 

Hi all-
As my January Rome-Florence-Venice trip approaches, I'm beginning to worry about how cold it's going to be. I have already checked weather sites but I would like some honest opinions.
Rome will be fine, but the other two, I just don't know.
Dh and I love to walk outside.
We just got back from Paris where the high was about 11C on average. It was pretty tolerable during the day.

If we do make any changes, do you have any suggestions?

We fly into Rome and out of Venice but would consider changing the return city.

Thank you!

Do you know how badly Venice is flooded now!?

As of a few days ago it was very flooded.

We have been to Florence in the winter several times. It can be quite cold.

No matter which way you turn your itinerary, you are still going to be in Italy in January.

Weather never stops me from being outside, unless it is pouring rain. I like cold. In fact, I hate hot.

I suggest dressing in warm layers. We take long lightweight silk underwear with us to layer. Warm shoes are good, too. But the nearly weightless silk underwear keeps us toasty.

Thanks Tuscan,

I'll go get the silk underwear. I also like it when its a little cooler, especially for traveling. I just don't want to freeze.
What are your favorite restaurants in those cities?
