Spring and autumn are often the preferred times to visit the state, because of the milder temperatures. Rain is common through out the year, with the heaviest rainfall in March. Light snow falls in the northern mountains in the winter, but rarely in the southern areas.

Crowd Information

A larger number of people visit Georgia in April and October. November through February is a perfect time to visit for those who hate long lines or large crowds.

When to Save

Prices don't fluctuate much by season, so values can be found year-round.

When to Book

There is no specific time to book to save money. Prices remain consistent throughout the year. Also, because Atlanta is a major airport hub, airfare to the city remains competitive.
