Winter works well if you want Snow Arena, Aquapark and apartment evenings. Spring is useful for a calmer break before the busiest travel months.
How Many Days Do You Need?
One night is enough for a quick Aquapark or spa visit, but two or three nights are better if you want to understand why people return.
