All Months
April through June is perfect – warm days, cool nights, and everything's green from spring rains. The weather sits around 70-80°F and you can walk all day without melting. September through November works just as well, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures for exploring. Avoid July and August unless you enjoy feeling like you're inside an oven – temperatures hit 100°F+ and the sun is relentless. Winter (December-February) is cold and gray, but accommodation prices drop by half and you'll have the monuments mostly to yourself. The catch? Some guesthouses close and heating can be spotty. Spring and fall are peak seasons, so book accommodations early.
