The middle of the day is the hottest, so be sure to plan most of your Montpellier travel excursions for the morning or evening, when the sun won’t be so strong.

City overview
Some refer to this rapidly growing metropolis as an afterthought of Toulouse, but it has enough irreplaceable character to stand on its own two feet without comparison. Others say that this city is southern France’s answer to Barcelona, but once in Montpellier, you realise that this dazzling seaside location has its very own unique personality, and needs no predecessor to define it.
Students make up a quarter of the population, infusing the area with intellectual spirit, creative energy, and youthful ideas. Twenty-somethings crowd into bars and cafes with friends, brightening the atmosphere and injecting a jovial essence into the night. Because of its aforementioned rapid growth, when you travel to Montpellier, it may seem that small bouts of construction spring from every corner. In a way, it is what it feels like. New investments like a second metro line, and other more efficient, modern advancements are being instated to ensure that Montpellier physically grows with its population, cradling the residents and welcoming new ones as it develops. Its forward reaching goals and its historically reverent attitude keep Montpellier on a swing set of back and forth appreciation.
Montpellier climate
If you book flights to Montpellier in the springtime (March to May), you’re in for absolutely glorious weather. It’s warm enough to take a swim in the Mediterranean, but cool enough not to feel scorched in the afternoon sun. Relax while you bask in the sunlight on the beaches, and enjoy the colourful floral displays that pop up all over the city. Beautiful weather is known to last here from May all the way to October. Summer temperatures roar up in the 20s, and the autumn simmers down to the 15s. Winter, which lasts from late November till February, although cool, is still a perfectly pleasant time to book flights to Montpellier.
Getting around Montpellier
When your flight to Montpellier arrives, you won’t have trouble finding your way to the city centre. A high-speed, high-tech tram stops at all the major highlights. It operates on a regular schedule and runs until late. There are also buses that run every day. The easiest option is buying a one day pass, which offers unlimited rides for both the bus and tram. You can buy tickets at tram stations or from news agents. If you get stuck out late, you can hail a taxi from the street at all hours. Or pedal yourself around the city by renting a bike for a full or half day.
