When is the best time to go to University Gardens?

The best time to visit University Gardens is during the spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to early November) when the weather is most pleasant for exploring. Spring in University Gardens brings comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, and the university campus and surrounding parks are in full bloom. It's an excellent time for strolls and enjoying outdoor cafes without the summer heat or crowds. Couples often find this period ideal for romantic walks through the botanical gardens or simply enjoying the blossoming scenery. Autumn offers similarly agreeable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 18°C, with the added beauty of changing leaf colours. This season is great for cultural excursions, as many university events, lectures, and art exhibitions begin. Solo travellers who appreciate a more academic or reflective trip will find the university's intellectual energy particularly engaging during this time. While summer (June to August) can be warm and humid, with temperatures averaging 25°C to 30°C, it's still a popular time, especially for families visiting students or attending summer programmes.

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente staff.....Be Back soon..."

Moxy NYC Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Je recommande cet hôtel. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Hôtel bien situé, 10 min à pied de Time square. Sécuritaire et bien entretenu. Chambre propre. Lits et oreillers confortables. Stationnement à côté de l’hôtel (entreprise indépendante qui offre un rabais aux clients de l’hôtel. 70$ pour une caravane. Tu n’as plus accès à l’auto une fois stationnée). L’hôtel offre un crédit de 20$ pour manger sur place ou au petit café situé la porte à côté. Je crois qu’ils offraient aussi deux entrées pour un tour de bateau pour aller voir la statue de la liberté (à valider). À savoir : chambre très petite mais bien aménagée, le mur de la salle de bain (incluant la douche) est une vitre givrée, donc on voit la silhouette. Il semble y avoir une église à proximité qui fait sonner les cloches aux 15 min."

Doubletree by Hilton New York Times Square South

10/10 Excellent

"I liked a lot of it. Clean bathroom (except finding a slightly broken toilet seat cover but it didn’t bother me that much since it was still usable), great selection of mini bar, excellent customer service, clean room. Nothing really to complain about!"

Hyatt Grand Central New York

8/10 Good

"Perfect location walking distance to many places we wanted to visit. Room was a little outdated but perfect for a 2 night stay. If you are with a family know the restroom is small so there isn’t much space. But perfect for solo travelers. The staff was always so friendly and welcoming"
