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

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=”turquoise” i_size=”lg” color=”turquoise” css_animation=”bounceIn” add_icon=”true”][vc_column_text]
