Best Time to Go to Each Country

Have you ever wondered what the best time to travel to a specific country is?
Have you searched for information on the internet but found conflicting results? Or is the explanation so long that it is unclear what the answer is?
Here, you will find a clear and concise answer to your question with a single click.
But before we start, allow me to clarify something…
How many countries are there in the world?
It seems like a straightforward question, but it does not have an agreed-upon answer, with figures ranging from 194 to 206. Strange, right?
The cause is that some territories have political sovereignty yet to be recognised internationally.
Some examples are Palestine (sovereignty disputed by Israel), Kosovo (which unilaterally declared its independence from Serbia) or Taiwan (recognised only by a small group of countries with little international weight).

I’ll speak of 195 countries because they are the Sovereign States recognised by the most significant international political institution, the United Nations: the UN’s List.
Clarified that, let’s return to the topic of this article.
In the following table, I include each of the 195 countries:

- Flag.
- Country name.
- Capital.
- The best time to travel to each of them and why, but concisely.
- Official language(s) of the country, with widely spoken non-official languages in brackets.
- The continent to which it belongs.
- The extension in km².
Don’t worry; you don’t have to read the entire list!
In the search box, you can type the country you are interested in for a faster and more concise answer.
