The maximum temperature is around 20-22 degrees, when the intensity of the scorching sun is at its lowest. During the nights, the temperature drop to about 5 degrees, while the days are extremely pleasant, and you can enjoy every bit of the city's heritage beauty and take back a memorable experience.
