Frequently asked questions When is the best time to go? Start with March, April, May, October & November. Choose July & August only with a written reason.
Is this a good honeymoon pick? Romance score 88/100 sits next to crowd 68/100 — read both.
How crowded does it get? On red months, empty midday or change region.
What should I budget per day? Use bands in MAD. Mid is the baseline. Not a live fare.
Do I need a visa? Many passports enter visa-free for a short stay — verify yours.
How many days do I need? Countries breathe at 7–12 days, honeymoon islands at 5–8. Continents: pick one region.
What is the biggest timing mistake? Treating the famous month as default. July & August is often that trap.
