While it may not be beach weather (the average temperature for December is 14\u2103), the weather in Sicily during the winter is still fairly warm and always sunny.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most tourists, Sicily is completely off the radar over the winter months. Which means the island is <em>very<\/em> quiet. So, you can enjoy museums without the crowds, and meander the streets with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Must-do winter experience:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout December and into early January, you can expect an abundance of Christmas markets and performances. Be sure to visit Termini Imerese, a short 30-minute train ride from Palermo, to watch the Christmas nativity play that\u2019s held on the streets and shop at the local starry-filled Christmas markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT:<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/where-find-christmas-markets-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Where to go to find the best Christmas markets in Italy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CJEoO2zFE-y\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, no list of the best Italian cities would be complete without mentioning the beautiful capital; Rome.
