    Sicily Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Sicily

    Sicily’s summer swings between hot and very hot – not surprising when you consider it's only 80 miles from Africa. April sees the temperature start to climb, hovering around the low 20s. From May to September time it jumps up a notch, hitting between 30 and 34˚C. Even in January, the mercury doesn’t tend to dip below 10 ˚C. As far as rain is concerned, October to December are the wettest months. If you’re here in August, though, you’d be hard pressed to find a cloud in the sky.

    Passports & Visas

    Citizens of the UK don’t need a visa to enter Italy but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/entry-requirements .

    Health & Safety

    You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving the UK. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Italian nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
