February is cold but calm, affordable and useful for indoor Warsaw.

February is still winter, but it is more useful than it looks. Warsaw stays affordable, crowds are low and the city works well for museums, cafés, classical music and Polish food. Fat Thursday adds a small local ritual, but this is still an indoor-first month.
