Visiting When The Cherry Trees Are Blooming Will Be Crowded | But It May Be Worth It
When To Visit DC
Visit During The Right Time Of The Year
What may appear to be the wrong time of year for most…may be the best time of year to visit for you if economics are a consideration. There can be significant savings on hotels and travel during the winter and late summer. A heavy coat and heat tolerance can result in big savings in your pocketbook. Otherwise, plan on paying higher rates during the primetime visits of most people to the city. Travel is normally heavier in the spring, early summer and fall. The Cherry Blossom Festival in Mid-March to Mid-April can also bring heavy tourism to the city. The wrong time for savings could be the right time to visit beautiful events such as the Cherry Blossom Festival. Other heavy tourism times are below:
