The best time to visit Vico Del Gargano is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically May, early June, or September.
These months offer pleasant weather, with warm but not excessively hot temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the town, enjoying the beaches, and hiking in the Gargano National Park. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months of July and August, leading to a more relaxed experience and often better value on accommodation.
For couples looking for a romantic getaway, May and September are particularly appealing. The slower pace allows for leisurely dinners, quiet walks through the historic centre, and enjoying the natural beauty without the bustling summer crowds. You can easily find secluded spots along the coast or in the forest for a peaceful day out.
Families travelling with children might prefer early June. The sea is warm enough for swimming, and the longer daylight hours provide ample time for outdoor activities. The town's atmosphere is lively but manageable, and you'll have good access to family-friendly beaches like those near Rodi Garganico or Peschici, which are a short drive away.
