This period is great for solo travellers or couples wanting to enjoy the urban landscape and nightlife without feeling overwhelmed by crowds.

If you prefer a slightly quieter visit with still excellent weather, the autumn months (September to November) are a fantastic choice. The summer rains have typically subsided, and the temperatures remain very agreeable.
