Half of Bratislava is flat surfaced, and the other half is hilly. These halves have different climates. Winter (December – early March) Love the cold wintry months? Get out and ski on the outskirts of the city on a mini ski-slope, or explore 10-kilometers of prepared trails in the beautiful countryside. The temperatures normally drop below zero into the minus 5 - 10 degrees Celsius range. Pack warm clothing if you plan a trip in winter. Spring (March - May) In early spring, the forests are still covered in snow, whilst the low-lying plains are flourishing with spring flowers. In spring you can try canoeing on the peaceful Danube River, or go paddling through flooded low-lying forests and islands. The essence and charisma of the woods, forest, and thick patches of grassland around this time of year make for an intriguing countryside. Adding an exceptional quality of life to the national theme of the Danube River. Summer (June - September) The summer season is usually bright, sunny and hot, with temperatures soaring to 30 degrees Celsius. People are cheerful and outgoing, and more people come into the city. Local accommodation tariffs soar. Plan early to avoid being disappointed. In summer, you can try white water rafting in one of the best water-sports cities in Europe.
