October

#7 of 12 months

Strong option

Quiet and good value — autumn colour in the parks, lower prices and the Old Town largely free of summer crowds.

  • Autumn colour at its peak in Lazienki and Saxon Garden — photogenic and peaceful, with far fewer visitors than September
  • Prices fall from summer highs; excellent value for hotels and restaurants throughout October

October trade-offs

  • Evenings cool to 5°C and sunshine drops to 5 hours per day — outdoor dining increasingly uncomfortable after dark
  • 44mm of rain and overcast days increase through the month as winter approaches

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
