All Months
April through June gives you the best weather without the crowds. Temperatures hit 20°C by May, perfect for walking those hilly streets. The jacaranda trees bloom purple along the main avenues.
September and October are golden months. The summer crowds clear out, but the weather stays warm enough for outdoor dining. Wine harvest season means special tastings at the port lodges.
Summer gets hot and crowded. July temperatures can hit 30°C, and every cruise ship in the Atlantic seems to dock here. Hotel prices double, and good luck getting a table at decent restaurants without reservations.
Winter isn't terrible if you don't mind rain. January sees about 15 rainy days, but temperatures rarely drop below 5°C. The upside? You'll have the city mostly to yourself, and hotel rates drop by 40%.
