What Is Shoulder Season?

Shoulder season sits between peak and off-peak — usually spring and autumn. You get good weather and most attractions are open, but prices and crowds are much lower than in summer.

Why It Saves You Money

Flights and hotels drop outside peak demand, and you'll often find better availability too. It's one of the easiest ways to stretch your holiday budget.

When To Look

Check prices just before and after the busy season for your destination. A week or two either side can make a meaningful difference to the total cost.
