What to pack for Rome in May

May in Rome: typical highs around 23°C, lows around 11°C and about 5 rainy days.

Rome in spring and autumn is warm under a low sun, while summer afternoons are hot enough to empty the streets between lunch and dinner. Winter is mild but damp, and churches require covered shoulders and knees whatever the season.

The list below assumes a 7-day trip, flying in and sleeping in a hotel.
