When to visit Poland?
Poland is a good destination all year round. The winter – for example in the Tatras or the Carpathians – is very cold and there is usually a lot of snow. For skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts, the best time to travel is between December and March. In March it is not quite as cold as in the winter months.
For a beach holiday at the Baltic Sea or at the Seeplatten, the summer months from June to September are the best time to travel in Poland, as the temperatures are then very pleasant and on most days swimming is also possible without problems. In autumn the temperatures are usually mild.
