#10 of 12 months

Worth considering

Grey, cold and quiet — Warsaw's museums and cafés are excellent value but the city draws firmly indoors.

  • POLIN Museum, Warsaw Rising Museum and the National Museum at their emptiest and most accessible — queue-free visits year-round lows
  • Prices drop sharply from October; among the cheapest months to stay and eat in Warsaw
