Poznań in April
Good time to visit
April marks the real start of tourist season. The weather cooperates most days, and the city shakes off its winter sleepiness.
Weather
April finally feels like spring has arrived in earnest. Trees start budding around Cytadela Park, and you can walk outside without multiple layers. Rain comes in typical spring showers - quick and refreshing rather than the dreary winter drizzle. About 10-12 rainy days.

All Months
May through September gives you the best weather and longest days. July brings the Malta Festival, turning the city into an outdoor theater venue. But here's what guidebooks won't tell you – May and September offer perfect temperatures (15-20°C) without summer crowds.
Summer means outdoor dining along Półwiejska Street and concerts in Cytadela Park. The downside? Hotel prices spike during graduation season in June.
Winter has its charm if you can handle temperatures dropping to -5°C. The Christmas market transforms Stary Rynek into a fairytale, complete with mulled wine and regional crafts. Plus, you'll have museums and restaurants mostly to yourself.
Avoid March – it's muddy, gray, and nothing's quite open yet. October can be lovely if you catch an Indian summer, but pack layers.
