Jul–Aug (crowds/price spikes)
Spring (Mar–May): Mild, blossoming gardens and fewer tourists make spring an excellent off-peak time. Expect cool, changeable weather and local Easter/May activities and occasional village fairs. Summer (Jun–Aug): Warmest, driest weather and the busiest time — peak season for sightseeing, open-air events, guided walks, and artisan markets. Book ahead for weekends. Autumn (Sep–Nov): Crisp, golden light and falling leaves; quieter than summer but still pleasant for strolling and photography. Look for harvest-themed events and small cultural festivals. Winter (Dec–Feb): Cold and often wet, the quietest season offers atmospheric medieval streets, reduced crowds, and seasonal Christmas carols/markets or church services — though some shops and attractions may have reduced hours.
