Best time to visit Košice:

Spring (April to June): This season brings mild temperatures and blooming landscapes, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, exploring national parks, and enjoying the countryside. The weather is generally pleasant, with fewer crowds compared to peak summer months.

Summer (July to August): Summer is popular for tourism in Slovakia due to warm temperatures, making it perfect for outdoor adventures, festivals, and exploring historic cities like Bratislava. However, this is also the busiest time, so popular destinations might be more crowded.
