Google has a tool for this. it you search for a specific place, it will show you data Google has on how busy that place is on certain days and at certain times as a bar graph. Here is an example of the Louvre in Paris: https://www.google.com/search?q=louvre%20paris

I believe these data are gathered from Google Maps or Android users’ location.

In addition, to find out similar information for a general place, like a city or region, again Google its name and in the sidabar, select “Travel Guide” and scroll down, there should be this graph to give a general indication of popular times to visit:

Paris when to visit from Google Travel Guide

One caveat: I don’t know if this works in all languages, but it seems to work for sure on English Google. So if it’s not working, try visiting google.com and select the English language version.
