When to go

Basilicata in December

Across the 31 Basilicata towns we hold, December averages 12 degrees by day and 4 at night, with about 9 days of rain. The sea off the 4 coastal towns sits around 17 degrees. Measured 2020–2024.

Where to go in December

Picked by a rule, not by mood: the weather in the comfortable band, our own editorial verdict on the town, a festival that month, and a sea worth swimming in. The reason is printed under each one.

What is on in December

1 festival we hold a source for. Recurring events, so the month is the promise and the exact dates are the comune’s to publish.

Somewhere else, or some other month

Next door in December: Campania, Apulia, Calabria.

Basilicata through the year: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Or the whole country: Italy in December, and every town in Basilicata.
