Where to stay

Travel insurance

If the trip needs a visa, the travel agent or visa centre usually sells the cover it asks for.

Mobile data (eSIM)

Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages. Some pay us a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you; most pay nothing, and what a site pays never decides whether it is listed or where.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in EG as well as at Brussels, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

No month stands out as busy; quietest in January.
