When is the best time to go to Historic Center?
The best time to visit the Historic Centre is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days and lower humidity, making it much more comfortable for exploring the city's outdoor attractions and walking through its historic streets. This period is ideal for sightseeing, enjoying the beaches, and taking boat trips to the nearby Rosario Islands. While it's the peak tourist season, the pleasant weather generally outweighs the larger crowds.

The shoulder seasons, particularly May and November, can also be a good option. The weather is still generally pleasant, with fewer tourists than the peak dry season, which can lead to better value on accommodation and tours. You might experience occasional rain showers, but they are usually brief and don't typically disrupt travel plans significantly.

The wet season, from June to October, brings higher humidity and more frequent rainfall, often in the form of afternoon downpours. While the city remains beautiful, the weather can be less predictable and might limit some outdoor activities.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Historic Center hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Historic Center hotel?
Hotel prices in Historic Center often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
