When to Go
For a romantic weekend, late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and beautiful light. Summer (July–August) is busy and hot. Winter (December–February) is cold but magical with Christmas markets and snow-covered rooftops — perfect for cozy indoor dates.
