When to go à Zagreb et l'Arrière-Pays ?

Under the skies of Zagreb and its hinterland, the climate tells the tale of four distinct seasons, each weaving its own story:

In high season, summer sets Zagreb's weather ablaze with Mediterranean heat, inviting visitors to explore the lively streets and verdant parks. Thermometers flirt with 30°C, promising bright days and warm nights.

Inautumn in Zagreb, the temperature softens and the leaves dance in a gentle breeze, providing an idyllic setting for nature lovers.

In winter, the city is transformed into a snowy postcard picture, rooftops glisten under the snow and the temperature in Zagreb drops, enveloping the city in a padded silence, perfect for fireside storytelling.

Spring sees Zagreb awaken, buds burst and mildness returns, revealing clement weather to visitors who come to admire the renewal.

Each season in Zagreb and the hinterland invites travelers to come to terms with the elements, in search of authentic experiences.

When is the best time to visit Zagreb?

The best time to visit Zagreb is from May to September, when the weather is pleasant and the city is alive with festivals. In fact, spring and summer are ideal for exploring not only the Croatian capital but also its lush hinterland.

Spring in Zagreb, particularly in May and June, reveals a city in full bloom, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists. It's a perfect time to visit the city's parks and attend cultural events such as the Zagreb International Children's Festival.

Summer is the peak tourist season. July and August are the hottest months, with temperatures rising above 30°C. It's during this period that Zagreb hosts the famous INmusic music festival and the St. Mark's summer festival. While it's the busiest time of the year, it's also the period when hotel rates rise.

Prefer peace and quiet? September is a golden time. Temperatures are milder and prices start to fall. It's also harvest time, giving visitors the opportunity to take part in local festivities in the hinterland.

Zagreb in autumn remains charming with its shimmering colors, while winter is cold but enchanting, especially around the festive season when Christmas markets come to life.

To experience Zagreb in all its splendor, choose spring or summer for outdoor activities, or winter for a festive atmosphere.
