Best Times to Visit Tallahassee
The best time to visit Tallahassee is anytime, really. There is no high or low season when it comes to room rates or flight deals, and the city is far enough away from the coast that it doesn't have the spring break appeal of other Panhandle locales. However, you should know that temperatures fluctuate between the low 40s and mid-60s in winter and the low 70s and low 90s in summer. And the area's lodging availability is largely determined by the school calendar: Rooms fill up quickly for football weekends, homecoming and graduation.

The other three months in this travel window are blissfully low-key, but the temperatures can climb to the low 90s on many days. Key Events:
