Best time to go to Frankfurt
Peak Season:
The peak season in Frankfurt is rather large, spanning from April to May, September to October, then again in December. Tourists flock to this city in order to bask in the beautiful weather and take part in one of the numerous international festivals and conventions that take place during these months.
Shoulder Season:
The months of June through August make up the shoulder season in this city. Like the peak season, there are many exciting festivals to enjoy. However, many locals go on holiday during these months, causing a drop in the price of accommodations and flights to Frankfurt. Because the city is relatively empty, visitors have a lot more freedom to enjoy one of the many outdoor pastimes, like swimming, skating and bicycling.
Off Season:
From January to March the weather in Frankfurt becomes exceedingly brisk and because of this, tourists avoid the city. If you do not mind a bit of chilly weather, this is one of the best times to visit as flights become inexpensive, and many of the indoor activities come alive.
