12. I really don't care. I just want to go when fewer tourists are there.

You can find some good deals on hotels if it is out of tourist season when you go. I have learned this from all of my travels: if you stay at the best hotel you can find, you get such perks as concierges very willing to help lead you to the best restaurants and museum shows. I learned this from a trip I curated for myself and a friend to Brussels. We took the marvelous trains to the little towns nearby for such marvelous wonders as the Ghent Altarpiece, Michelangelo's Bruges Madonna, and the Musee des Beaux Arts.

You'd be surprised how wonderful it can be from that perspective. Of course, my preferences aren't everybody's preferences. I know the weather can be very important to folks and I get it.
