When to Visit Clifton, NJ

The best time to visit Clifton is in the fall, when the leaves start to change color and the temperatures cool off. This provides the best weather for strolling through Clifton's downtown district, which features some great dining and shopping opportunities. During this season, temperatures range from 50 degrees to 70 degrees, and precipitation is at a minimum. However, this time is also popular for sports fans, as MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and New York Jets, fills to capacity with over 80,000 crazed fans. If you're visiting over the weekend, you may want to book your hotel room well in advance to ensure you get the hotel and room of your choice.

Another superb time to head to Clifton is during the summer when the surrounding area comes to life with a plethora of events and festivals. Because it's only a short train ride from the city, you can buy tickets to one of New York's top food festivals, concerts, or parades. The weather warms significantly during this season and the sun shines throughout the day, so a trip to the beach is also an excellent way to spend your free time. Once again, hotels fill up rather quickly during the season, so book early.

If you're a winter sports enthusiast, the area surrounding Clifton has some awesome skiing and snowboarding resorts. Nearby ski fields offer impressive slopes that cater to beginner and intermediate skiers, although advanced skiers will also have fun carving their way down the mountain. Since the weather is cold and snowfall is a definite possibility, many tourists tend to steer clear of the city from November to February, meaning that you can score a sweet deal on the hotel of your liking. However, Christmas and New Year's often see an uptick in guests, so plan accordingly.

In the spring, the weather warms up and provides excellent temperatures and a chance to go outdoors. Although precipitation increases, it provides a pleasant experience, and it doesn't usually last throughout the day. In addition, nearby markets and spring festivals are a big draw and an awesome pastime. Demand for hotel rooms varies during the season, so check ahead to see what hotels have to offer. Certain events may cause a shortage in hotel rooms, while weekdays may provide more affordable rates.
