Guanajuato in February

October through April gives you perfect weather — sunny days around 75°F and cool nights that make evening strolls magical. But timing matters beyond temperature. October brings the massive Festival Internacional Cervantino, when the city explodes with theater, music, and dance. Hotels book up months ahead and prices double, but the energy is infectious. November through February offers the sweet spot: great weather, manageable crowds, and normal prices. March and April heat up but stay comfortable. Avoid May through September unless you love rain and humidity. The city sits at 6,700 feet, so pack layers — mornings can be chilly even in summer. And here's a local tip: visit during Día de los Muertos in early November. The cemeteries here are spectacular, and locals actually welcome respectful visitors.
