All Months
May through September is your window, and even then you're gambling with the weather. May can still be chilly—pack layers. June and July are perfect if you can handle the occasional dust storm. August gets hot but manageable. September is gorgeous, with clear skies and temperatures that don't require constant air conditioning.
Avoid winter unless you're genuinely curious what -35°C feels like. The city transforms into something from a post-apocalyptic movie, with wind that cuts through every layer you own. Some people find this beautiful in a harsh, minimalist way. Most people find it miserable.
Here's the insider tip: late September is ideal. The summer crowds (what few there are) have gone home, the weather is crisp and clear, and you get those endless autumn sunsets over the steppe that make every Instagram photo look like a professional landscape shoot.
