–5.0The best time to visit Tivoli is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and the gardens are in full bloom. These seasons offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds, making it an ideal time to explore the outdoor attractions. Summer can be quite hot, and winter, while less crowded, may have limited access to some sites due to weather conditions.
