+Strong balance of weather and crowds
–Shorter days than summer
September keeps much of summer’s comfortable sightseeing weather while the crowds begin to fall away. Cultural events remain plentiful, and the month is relatively dry compared with the wetter summer period.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
