Strong option

Warsaw wakes up — 8°C days, Easter markets in Old Town and the first outdoor terraces of the year.

  • Easter markets in the Old Town Market Square (if Easter falls in late March) bring colour and traditional Polish food stalls
  • Lazienki Park blossoms into early spring — the lakeside Chopin concerts are still weeks away but the gardens are beautiful

March trade-offs

  • Overnight temperatures still touch freezing — evenings require a proper winter jacket
  • The outdoor cultural programme is only just beginning to ramp up; many summer venues not yet operating
  • 37mm of rain with occasional grey spells; spring in Warsaw can be unpredictable week to week

June trade-offs

  • 68mm of rainfall with possible afternoon thunderstorms; outdoor event schedules can be disrupted
  • Hotel prices at their summer high; booking 6–8 weeks ahead recommended for the best options
