Seasonal recommendations
Bardejov in years
Jaro In March and April Bardejov became a green oasis. The surroundings of the monument of Emperor Elizabeth slowly dress up in fine spring tones. Sunlight is reflected from marble children sculpture and adds a soft atmosphere to the surrounding streets. Birds start singing, which contributes to the overall climate. It is best to visit the memorial in the morning or in the afternoon when the tourist stream is smaller. During the visit it is recommended to dress up in layers - spring days are unstable: morning cold, after lunch the temperature rises rapidly. The photo is suitable when the statue is attractively falling light from the glow, but watch out for the wind storm.
Leto In June and July Bardejov is a lively center, where visitors stop around the monument. Sunny lodgings create sharp seams, and the statue appears to be covered with gold gloss. In parks, flower grasses and trees provide seams. It is best to visit the memorial earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon when the temperature is lower and the crowds are diluted. During the visit, it is recommended to dress yourself in soft, breathable materials, but not to forget the sun denim and hat. The water for hydration is inconsequential, as the temperature often exceeds 30 °C.
Podzim In September and October, Bardejov dresses into a varied sub-winter spectrum of colors. The leaves around the monument of Emperor Elizabeth turn into rusty and golden tones. Cooler air conditions and a soft morning give the surrounding places a mysterious atmosphere. The sun pollutes contrasting light effects on the marble. It is best to visit the memorial in the morning or in the afternoons when the air is cleaner and the crowds are smaller. During the visit, it is recommended to dress in warmer layers and non-promoting suit, because the winter days are cold and windy. The photo is suitable thanks to the contrast of leaf and marble colors.
Winter In December and January, Bardejov will turn into a clean, snowy country. The surroundings of the monument of Imperial Elizabeth are covered with white poker. Snow adds a mysterious look to the statue, while frost stains marble into blue and silver tones. In the advent times, lights light up in the surrounding streets, reflected from the statue. It is best to visit the memorial in the afternoons when light is gentle and crowds minimal. It is recommended to wear warm, non-promoting suits, gloves and hats when visiting. Temperatures may drop below freezing.
