PROTIP: Are you looking for the best time to visit historical sites?
Contrary to popular belief, arriving during lunchtime is a great way to see sites that can be less crowded. Most historical sites that have large tour buses shuffling in and out often have a break for lunch, which could be a great time to experience a busy site.
