- more balanced
- easier for mixed pilgrimage plus sightseeing
- more family-friendly if you avoid the top rush dates
What changes from January

- broad city movement often feels slightly easier outside the top dates

| Elderly traveler | good with early starts and the right stay |
Best February strategy

- use lighter winter packing than peak January, but do not skip layers entirely
What to wear in February

Best for family travel?
