Best time to visit: For a quieter visit to the Capitoline Museums, choose a weekday when you can explore at your own pace. To avoid school groups, aim for the afternoon, as mornings are often packed with educational tours. The best season to visit are spring (April to May) and autumn (September to November) for mild weather and smaller crowds. Winter (December to February) also offers unique exhibitions, making it a great option as well.
