Why this month is easy to say yes to
Crowdsmedium

Night temp14.3C
What Works Well
28.9°C days and only 33.4 mm of rain support long walks through the city.
Three of the five highlighted sights are outdoor landmarks, so the month suits sightseeing.
11.5 hours of sunshine a day gives you plenty of time for a full visit.
What Needs Planning
Afternoon heat can make long outdoor stretches feel tiring.
Crowds and prices are both at a medium level, so it is not the cheapest or quietest choice.
The month is easy to plan, but it does not bring a major edge over the best spring or autumn alternatives.

Practical trip tips
Plan the heaviest walking for the morning or late afternoon and keep the middle of the day lighter.
Comfortable shoes will matter more than extra gear, because most visitors will spend the best parts of the day on foot.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
