Best time to visit North America
The best time to visit North America depends on which part of the continent and what type of experience you are seeking.
For the United States
big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) are ideal with milder weather and fewer tourists. Southern cities, such as New Orleans and Miami, can be pleasant in the winter (December to February) when temperatures are milder.
Canada’s nature experiences such as Banff and Jasper National Parks are best in the summer (June to August) when the hiking trails are open and the weather is warm. Winter sports enthusiasts can instead visit ski resorts like Whistler from December to March.
In Mexico and the Caribbean islands, from November to April it is ideal, with drier and cooler climates, avoiding the humid rainy season and hurricanes that occur during summer and early autumn.
In conclusion, spring and autumn are the best periods to avoid extreme weather and crowds.

In New York City, the cultural and commercial heart of the country, you’ll find famous sights such as the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Central Park. Don’t miss Broadway, where you can experience award-winning musicals, and the many museums such as MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
On the West Coast, Los Angeles offers the opportunity to visit Hollywood, the promenades of Venice Beach and the iconic Santa Monica Pier.
