Poland enjoys the full gamut of weather conditions, from hot summers to snowy winters. The Polish weather is known for its changes, so it is best to prepare for all seasons when you pack for your trip! For those looking to explore on foot, May to September is the best time to visit and the best chance of good weather. Many open-air events are held at this time of the year, although the beautiful, colorful fall in Poland, known as the Golden Polish Autumn (Złota Polska Jesień), has many outdoor cultural festivals that also take place later in the year.

Poland is known for its harsh winters, and in some places there is snow on the ground from November to March. This period is also the skiing season, and the resort of Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains offers slopes for taking advantage of the snowy conditions. For those who aren’t interested in winter sports, the winter can still be a great time to visit Poland — the temperatures may be subzero, but the scenery becomes truly magical under a blanket of snow.
