Spring (April-May): Mild temperatures (12-18°C), blooming gardens, and rejuvenated street life make spring enchanting. Tourist crowds begin arriving but remain manageable. Parks display floral beauty perfect for photography.
Summer (June-August): Warm weather (18-25°C) brings long daylight hours ideal for extended exploration. Open-air cafés flourish, outdoor concerts fill evenings, and the city radiates vibrant energy. Peak tourist season—book accommodations months ahead.
Autumn (September-October): Golden foliage bathes the city in warm tones. Temperatures remain comfortable (10-16°C). Crowds diminish post-summer, offering better access to attractions. Early autumn captures perfect conditions for exploring historic neighborhoods.
Winter (November-March): Cold temperatures (−5 to 5°C) and occasional snow create atmospheric holiday scenes. Christmas markets and festivities transform public spaces. Fewer tourists allow intimate engagement with city culture. Dress warmly in heavy coats, boots, and layers.
