Travel Tips

Great for Europe-on-a-budget. Especially during Christmas, when there are amazing Christmas markets. – Winter is concert season

Closures: Some closures in summer, when locals travel for summer break.

In May – July, Russia experiences White Nights (bright sky throughout the night). Enjoy longer days out in the cities.

Turkey and Greece gets very busy when there are holidays in Europe

Croatia is overcrowded in peak season, and near dead in low season. Shoulder season (May-Jun, Sept-Oct) is best.

Peak Tourist Season and Off-Peak Seasons in Eastern Europe

Peak Season vs Low Season – What is the Best Time to Travel?

It depends what makes your ideal holiday.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The off season travel months are generally the cheapest time to visit any destination. There’s a good chance that hotels and attractions offer discounted prices.

In contrast, the best month to experience a destination also tends to the busiest, so you have to contend with more crowds and longer queues at attractions. But peak season is the peak for a reason, so there’s many things at their best – such as weather, opening hours, events etc.

If your calendar is pretty open, then shoulder season is a great time for independent travellers. Between peak season and off season, the ‘shoulder’ months give you the best of both worlds.[/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”” i_type=”entypo” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-flight” i_color=”custom” i_size=”lg” color=”custom” css_animation=”bounceIn” add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#002d4e” accent_color=”#ffcb00″][vc_column_text]
