The Best Time to Visit Popular Destinations Around the World

Timing is everything when it comes to travel. Here’s a breakdown of the best times to visit some of the most popular destinations across the globe: Paris – The best times to visit Paris are in spring (April to June) or fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and the crowds are manageable. Tokyo – For cherry blossoms in full bloom, visit during late March to early April. However, October to December offers mild weather and fewer tourists. Rome – For fewer crowds and pleasant weather, visit Rome during the shoulder seasons of April to June or September to October. New York City – While NYC is great year-round, the best times are spring (April-May) and fall (September-November) for comfortable temperatures and vibrant street scenes. Sydney – Visit in the summer months (December to February) for beach weather, or head there in fall (March-May) for fewer tourists and mild temperatures. Iceland – The summer months of June to August offer 24-hour daylight, but winter (November to February) is ideal for catching the Northern Lights. Kyoto – Japan’s cultural capital is stunning during cherry blossom season in April, but the fall foliage from October to November is equally beautiful. Cape Town – The summer months (November to March) offer the best weather for sightseeing, hiking, and enjoying the beaches.
