Best time to go to Frankfurt

Peak Season:

Frankfurt's peak season is extensive, ranging from April to May, September to October, and December. Flights and accommodation can be very expensive during these months, so it is important to book well in advance in order to take part in one of the many exciting annual events, such as the Henninger Rennen bicycle race in May, the Herbst Dippemess fall festival in September, or the Christmas Fair in December.
If you do not book in advance, inexpensive accommodation and flights to the Gold Coast can be tricky to find during this time.

Shoulder Season:

From June through August, many locals go on holiday, and so the prices of accommodation and flights to Frankfurt drop. Although the city is relatively quiet during this period, the weather is pleasant, making it a great time to stroll through the Stadtwald, browse the flea market along Sachsenhausen, or take a Frankfurt City ‘Hop-on Hop-off’ Tour.

Off Season:

The chilly weather from January to March keeps tourists at bay. Flights are at their cheapest during this period, and the city still has plenty to offer in terms of indoor activities. Because of the cold, this is an excellent time to visit Saint Bartholomeus' Cathedral, tour the Architektur Museum, and explore the Goethe Haus und Museum.
