+Low-season rates continue and major attractions are easier to visit.

–Cold weather remains, and half-term can temporarily increase family crowds.

Winter quiet with the first cultural energy of the year.

Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
