Best Time to Visit

The guide was updated:
The best time to visit Palm Springs is between November and April when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. Daytime temperatures typically range from about 15°C to 28°C, making it ideal for exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park or riding the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Winter also brings a splash of Hollywood glamour to the desert with the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January. Spring, particularly March and April, is festival season, with Coachella and Stagecoach drawing music fans from all over the world. It’s also when the desert blooms, making hikes even more scenic. Keep in mind this is peak tourist season, so plan ahead if you’re visiting during these months. For quieter stays, early fall offers fewer crowds as the heat begins to ease.

Public Transport

Public Transport

Public transportation in Palm Springs is not as extensive as in larger cities. The SunLine Transit Agency operates the main bus service, including several routes that serve the city and surrounding areas. While they are a reliable option for getting around the city, especially for those staying in specific areas like downtown Palm Springs, the service may not be as convenient or frequent as taxis or ride-sharing services for tourists with time-sensitive schedules. For information on fares, routes, and timetables, visit SunLine Transit Agency's official website.
