When we visited

The best time to visit Washington DC is during the spring (March to May) when the famous cherry blossoms bloom, transforming the city into a stunning pink paradise. Fall (September to November) is also a great time with pleasant weather, vibrant foliage, and fewer crowds. However, if you prefer milder temperatures and want to explore the museums and landmarks without the peak tourist season, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of early summer (June) or late summer (August).

Packing Essentials
