The best time to go to Jindrichuv Hradec is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, and September. These months offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and a good balance of outdoor activities and cultural experiences.
May and June are lovely as the spring flowers are in full bloom, and the temperatures are comfortably mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C. This is a great time for exploring the town on foot, enjoying boat trips on Vajgar Lake, or cycling along the numerous picturesque paths in the surrounding countryside. You'll find the castle and chateau grounds particularly appealing during these months.
September also offers agreeable weather with average temperatures between 12°C and 18°C, and the autumn colours begin to emerge, making the landscape quite scenic. The summer crowds have thinned out, making it easier to enjoy the town's attractions, like the State Castle and Chateau and the Museum of Jindřichův Hradec, without feeling rushed. This is also a good time for those interested in local festivals, as some harvest celebrations might be taking place.
While July and August are the warmest months, with temperatures often reaching 25°C or higher, they are also the busiest, especially around the castle and lake.
