01. When is the best time to visit Europe?
Europe is a big continent and the weather varies significantly. For example, in parts of Western Europe, the winter months (Nov-Feb) can bring significant snowfall. Whereas the summer (May-Sept.) is typically quite warm.
In Central Europe, the best time to visit is typically from April to June and from September to November. This is when the weather is mild and the volume of tourists is relatively low.
If you’re considering a trip to Eastern Europe, between May and June or between September and October are typically good times to travel. The top tourist attractions aren’t as busy, but the weather is generally warm.
