Visiting a destination during peak travel season can mean massive crowds and overpriced hotels, which is why it's often best to travel during the off season.
We teamed up with Kayak to find the best international destination to visit each month of the year.
Kayak calculated the median monthly airfare and median hotel rates for four-star properties in multiple destinations around the world. Activities and weather were also taken into consideration.
Here is the best place to visit every month of the year.

JANUARY: Cancun, Mexico
Median Airfare: $456
Median Hotel Rate: $213
Cancun is blissfully free of spring breakers this time of year, which, outside of hurricane season, boasts some of Cancun's lowest airfare rates. Escape the cold, but hang tight until after New Year's Eve for the lowest rates.
FEBRUARY: Hong Kong
Median Airfare: $1126
Median Hotel Rate: $134
Instead of celebrating another uninspired Valentine's Day, head to Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year and escape the cold with temperatures in the low 70s F.
MARCH: Montreal, Canada
Median Airfare: $465
Median Hotel Rate: $176
Montreal has a cosmopolitan and European feel, but without the hefty price tag. Though it's still cold in March, hotel rates and airfare are so low that this is an ideal time to visit.
