The best time to visit Kamnik is during the months of May and September. In May, the weather begins to warm up, with temperatures averaging around 64°F, making it a delightful time for outdoor exploration. September, on the other hand, boasts similar mild conditions, with average temperatures also hovering in the low to mid-60s Fahrenheit, great for enjoying the beautiful Alpine scenery and historic architecture.
During the peak tourist season, from June to August, Kamnik sees a rise in visitors, drawn to its charming streets and stunning landscapes. This bustling atmosphere can enhance your experience, especially if you're keen on joining guided tours or participating in local festivals that showcase the region's rich culture. The long daylight hours during this time provide ample opportunity for hiking, cycling, or simply wandering through the picturesque old town and its surrounding natural beauty.
For those who appreciate a quieter experience, September offers a lovely balance. The crowds have thinned, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the area's attractions, such as the medieval Kamnik castle and the nearby Velika Planina plateau, known for its traditional herdsmen's huts and breathtaking views.
If you're considering a more budget-friendly option, early May tends to be less busy, allowing you to enjoy great value while still soaking in the beauty of Kamnik's landscapes and cultural offerings.
