When is the best time to visit Washington?

Spring (March to May) is ideal with mild temperatures and the blooming cherry blossoms, particularly during the National Cherry Blossom Festival in April. The weather is pleasant, and tourist crowds are moderate.

Summer (June to August) offers warm weather, perfect for exploring outdoor monuments and museums. However, it can be very hot and humid, with larger crowds and higher prices.

Autumn (September to November) features cooler temperatures and fewer tourists. The fall foliage adds a beautiful backdrop to the city, making it a great time for sightseeing.

Winter (December to February) is cooler and can be cold, but the city is less crowded and has festive holiday decorations. Accommodations may be more affordable, but some attractions may have reduced hours.
