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

Quality Inn near Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Always a good experience. I highly recommend them"

Staybridge Suites Rochester - Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful: The rooms are well appointed (good size refrigerator, coffee maker, silverware), clean and spacious. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! Breakfast was pretty average fare. The coffee is pretty cheap. Other than that, we loved everything about the hotel. We would stay here again when visiting the Mayo Clinic."

Holiday Inn Express Rochester South - Mayo Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The first room we were given did not have a working AC unit nor a working landline phone to call the desk. (Walking down to talk to the gal at the desk was easy, I just found it humorous that I couldn’t call her from the room. The second room we were given was awesome! And breakfast was great (pancake machine, omelets, biscuits and gravy, etc) I would stay here again if we are in the area."

Meet Bev, a charming 2-bedroom, pet-friendly home in Rochester

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful, modern clutterfree home. So cutely decorated, both upstairs and down. Beds were comfortable, and the living space generous. And theehome was immaculate . Close to Mayo, too. Lots of fun items for kids including games, books, puzzles and even a foosball table. Would recommend and will definitely look to book here again."
