Best time to visit Inverness
The most popular period to visit Inverness is from July to August (summer), when the temperatures reach the moderate temperature of 19°C. While this means a more comfortable holiday experience in this Scottish city, the summer is the peak tourist season in Inverness, unfortunately. You will have to book accommodation well in advance, hotel rates will be at their highest and you’ll have to explore tourist attractions like Cawdor Castle along with crowds of tourists.
While visiting during the winter period (December – February) brings more rain, you will discover that the Scottish Highlands capital takes on a different, yet beautiful appearance during this season. Some tourist attractions and restaurants may close during this time, but you’ll have more availability, the cheapest hotel rates and the pleasure of exploring Inverness at your own pace.
