When do you want to travel? When will your work schedule allow it? If you have children, when are their school holidays? Are there events you already have planned that you don’t want to miss? Do you want to celebrate any special occasions during your trip? All of these considerations will help you find the best dates for you.

Many destinations have both peak and off-peak seasons. Off-peak is typically less expensive in terms of prices and, often, less crowded. Before choosing your destination, research the weather, crowds, special activities, and prices during both seasons. It may be worth the savings to go during the off-peak season.
