Niš in February
Not the best time
Still firmly winter, but February has this quiet charm if you're into moody European cities. The locals are friendlier to the few tourists who show up. Just don't expect much outdoor sightseeing.
Weather
February stays cold but starts showing tiny signs of spring toward the end. You'll still get snow, but it melts faster now. Temperatures creep up just enough to make walking around less miserable, though mornings are still brutal.

All Months
April through June gives you the best weather without the summer heat. Temperatures sit comfortably in the 20s Celsius, perfect for exploring Roman ruins and walking the fortress walls. Spring also brings the Nišville Jazz Festival in August, though that means higher prices and crowded accommodations.
September and October offer another sweet spot. The summer crowds disappear, restaurant terraces stay open, and you get those golden autumn light perfect for photography. Plus, grape harvest season means fresh wine in every kafana.
Winter can be harsh - temperatures drop below freezing and some outdoor sites close early. But December brings Christmas markets to Trg Kralja Milana, and hotel prices hit rock bottom. Just pack warm clothes and waterproof boots.
Avoid July and August unless you handle heat well. Temperatures regularly hit 35°C (95°F), and the city feels sluggish during afternoon hours.
