When is the best time to go to Washington?

The best time to go to Washington is during the spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Spring brings blooming flowers, especially the famous cherry blossoms, making it a beautiful time to visit monuments and enjoy outdoor activities. The temperatures are mild, typically ranging from the 50s to 70s Fahrenheit, which is comfortable for exploring on foot. This period is ideal for couples looking for a romantic trip with scenic walks and outdoor dining. Fall offers crisp air, colorful foliage, and comfortable temperatures, usually in the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit. The summer crowds have thinned out, making it easier to visit museums and attractions without long waits.

Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Kahler Inn and Suites - Mayo Clinic Area

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was a good experience, very convenient to Mayo Clinic and Methodist Hospital. The woman who checked us in this time was not very welcoming, don’t think she wanted to be there."

EVEN Hotel Rochester - Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was incredibly spacious and they had a yoga mat, yoga block, and resistance bands in the room which I think was thoughtful. The hotel's restaurant food and drinks were really good too. I really enjoyed my stayed. I would stay there away if ever in town."

Hyatt House Rochester/Mayo Clinic Area

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, easy check-in, clean room and property. We didn’t know about the free breakfast and that was a great surprise! Nice to have parking attached to the hotel. Our room was very spacious and we loved having the kitchen and counter top space. We will stay at the Hyatt again."
