Rome in February

Perhaps some of these previous posts here on the Forum can be of help. I'd recommend getting an RS guide book, watch the RS videos, and develop your priorities based on your interests , travel style , and budget, and come back with more specific questions.
Have a great trip!

I agree with what Pat said. I would also add that taking a look at the 7 days in Rome itinerary here on the website under Tours is very helpful. I actually took that tour around Xmas several years ago and felt I really covered a lot of what Rome has to offer. IF you like cats I would also walk over to the cat rescue at Torre Argentina near the Pantheon. Here is the website, https://www.gattidiroma.net/ I loved watching the cats sun themselves on the ancient ruins.

I've recently returned from a trip to Rome and Campania. I was in Rome for 10 days in February and 10 more days in March. My observations:

• My high temperatures were generally right around what I expected, based on the averages; they were usually in the upper 50s (F) or lower 60s. But we didn't get to those temperatures until the afternoon. In February it often didn't get above 40F until 11 AM or later, so assume you may need an extra layer in the morning and want to peel it off as the day goes on. Think about how you'll manage that.

• Sightseeing hours were generous for winter but were sometimes different from the summer hours typically published in guidebooks, so check websites of museums, etc., ahead of time. Some of the less famous churches had more limited hours than I had expected, which might have been due to the season.

• It will get dark early, obviously, so you'll be leaving sights (not to mention dinner) in the dark. It never felt like a safety issue to me because tons of people were out and about, but you need to be careful as you navigate the sometimes-in-disrepair sidewalks after dark. I (klutz that I am) fell three times, twice after dark because of the condition of the sidewalk. Because I wasn't staying in an especially central location and preferred to walk rather than use buses or Metro, I had some very long walks in the dark. What with Rome's hills and large archaeological sites (like the Forum) that had to be skirted, I often found myself taking circuitous routes. There are also places where the shortest path is down a long set of steps that may not have hand railings--not something I was willing to tackle after dark.

• The ticket situation at the Vatican Museums (whose regular tickets are currently selling out almost as soon as they go on sale) was not as bad in February as it is now, but it was still essential to get tickets ahead of time if you didn't want to take a tour. I didn't care about the Colosseum, so I don't know whether that ticket situation was as totally impossible in February as it is right now.

• Cafes in some of the secondary museums were not open; I assume that was a seasonal thing.

• I encountered quite a few sizable groups of school children at secondary museums that otherwise had almost no visitors. They weren't really an issue since I had lots of time and could afford to make detours and return to previously crowded rooms.

• The areas around the biggest attractions in Rome were very busy. It didn't seem like off-season in such areas. I went over to Trastevere early one Saturday evening, and it was hopping.

• My (3-star, not expensive) hotel in Monti told me demand for rooms had been very high. It was hoping to do some maintenance work but was struggling to schedule it. You'll probably save money by booking early.
