The best time to visit Ciechanów is during the late spring (May to early June) and late summer (late August to September) when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for exploring.
During these periods, you'll experience mild temperatures, typically ranging from 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C), with less rainfall compared to the peak summer months. This makes it ideal for couples and solo travelers who enjoy walking tours of the Ciechanów Castle and the Old Town Market Square without the intense heat or larger crowds. The foliage is also at its most beautiful, enhancing the scenic walks along the Łydynia River.
If you are interested in local events and cultural activities, the summer months (July and August) offer a more lively experience with various outdoor festivals and concerts. While it can be warmer, with temperatures sometimes reaching into the 80s°F (27°C+), and there's a higher chance of afternoon showers, these months provide an opportunity to engage with local traditions. For families, this can be a good time to visit due to school holidays and the availability of more family-friendly outdoor activities.
Ultimately, for comfortable sightseeing and a relaxed trip, late spring and early autumn are superior.
