WHEN

June to August is the warmest, busiest and most expensive time.

March to May and September to November is shoulder season. Mild weather and thinner crowds. You will need to pack clothes for warm and cold weather.

January to February is low season, it is cold, cheap and uncrowded.

Spring is a good time to come and the weather continues to warm up so let's say May is the optimum month.
