Sept will be the best month to view Saturn, as the planet reaches its peak brightness around Sept 8th, when it is in opposition.
Opposition occurs when Saturn will be directly opposite the Sun in the sky, making it visible all night long. This period also coincides with Saturn being closest to Earth. It can easily be seen without a telescope, but having a telescope or binoculars will reveal the planet's famous rings and some of its biggest moons.
