Spring (March – May) and autumn (September – early December) are good times to visit, when airfares and accommodation costs drop, and crowds are scarce. This is a magnificent time to observe the seasonal changes of the trees and fields, which create a kaleidoscope of exotic colours across the city. Summer (June-August) is peak tourist season. The days are warm, bright, balmy and cloudless skies abound. There is more daylight, thus giving you more time to explore the city. During this time, crowds are dense and prices for lodging sky-rocket. It is tough to find accommodation during this season, so plan in advance. During the winter (December-February), hotel prices and airfares hit rock-bottom. The weather is chilly, cold and at its worst. January to February are frosty, but there is hardly any snowfall. In rural areas, a lot of bed-and-breakfasts, lodges, and attractions close for the season.
