The terraces are open all year, and the best light comes at the start and end of the day.
Mild and clear, 15 to 25°C, with full pools after the winter rains. The best season for photographs.
Very hot at 35°C or more, with the terraces glaring in the sun. Go at opening time or for sunset and swim in the Antique Pool in between.
Warm days and cooler evenings in September and October, with fewer tour buses.
Cold at night with occasional snow, but the warm pools steam beautifully and the site is almost empty.
April, May, September and October are ideal. In summer, avoid the middle of the day.
