Worth considering
Hottest and most crowded — most visitors choose this month and most travellers who know pick differently.

July trade-offs
- ↓Peak tourist month: the narrow lanes of the Ancient Town are genuinely congested from 9am–6pm
- ↓34°C with 76% humidity — the hottest, stickiest combination of the year; energy drains fast outdoors
- ↓Hotel and tour prices at yearly high; custom tailoring requires 4–5 days of lead time due to backlogged workshops
February trade-offs
- ↓International visitor numbers building toward the March peak — popular tailor shops book out 2–3 days ahead
- ↓Some Tet-period closures affect restaurants and family-run tailors for 3–5 days around the holiday
- ↓Humidity at 82% means evenings are warmer than the temperature suggests
