+The quietest, cheapest month of the year — nothing is busy.

–Grey, damp weather with little outdoor life.

Budget-friendly, quiet, excellent for museums and galleries. Weather is cold but manageable.

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