When to Visit

The best time to visit New York depends on the traveller's preferences. Though the city shines bright all year round, the spring and autumn offer brilliantly mild and crisp weather, perfect for exploring parks in full bloom or crunching leaves underfoot.

Winter can be extraordinarily magical, especially during festivities when the city transforms into a winter wonderland. Do be ready to pack winter gear though, as the weather can be biting cold. The summer, on the other hand, can be humid, but it's the ideal time for those inclined toward a more coastal, relaxed holiday in Coney Island or Rockaway Beach.
