October is the most popular time to visit Zaragoza Old Town, as the weather is pleasantly mild and the city comes alive with vibrant autumn festivities. This month marks the tail end of the peak tourist season, which runs from August to October, making it an ideal time for travellers seeking a mix of cultural experiences and outdoor exploration.
During October, you can expect daytime temperatures to hover around the low 20s Celsius, superb for wandering through the historic streets, sampling local cuisine, and visiting popular landmarks such as the Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. The comfortable climate allows for enjoyable sightseeing, whether you are exploring the charming plazas or taking leisurely strolls along the Ebro River.
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly experience, November offers a quieter atmosphere as the tourist crowds dissipate. While the weather is cooler, averaging around 14 degrees Celsius, you can still enjoy the beauty of Zaragoza's architecture and perhaps even indulge in some local festivities without the hustle and bustle of peak season.
