When is the best time to go to Williamsburg?

For most visitors, the best time to go to Williamsburg is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months. During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, with fewer crowds than in the peak summer season. This makes exploring the outdoor historical sites of Colonial Williamsburg, such as Duke of Gloucester Street and the various trade shops, much more comfortable. The gardens are particularly beautiful in spring with blooming flowers, and the autumn foliage adds a scenic backdrop to the historic buildings. Couples looking for a relaxing trip will appreciate the quieter atmosphere and comfortable temperatures, superb for strolling through the historic area or enjoying a horse-drawn carriage ride without the intense summer heat or large school groups. Families with younger children might also find these times ideal, as the milder weather makes outdoor activities more enjoyable for little ones. While summer offers longer daylight hours and all attractions are fully operational, it can be very hot and humid, with larger crowds, especially at the theme parks.

Top Williamsburg Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and very nice staff! Would stay again."

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice boutique hotel that I was able to find for a last minute stay for one person. Near the convention center and metro. The room was quite small. The windows faced the windows of an office building so curtains always needed for privacy. Gym was very small also and fine for one person at a time. Good stay for the price for one person."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"We love our stay here. We appreciated the wonderful breakfast and the staff. The Metro was a blessing, we don't have to drive in the busy DC area. The parking was a bit confusing though. But overall it was very good. We will come back!"
