Berlin
is a fascinating city year-round, although most visitors arrive between
May and September when the weather is the most reliable. Things are
busier in high season, but despite the crowds, summer is a lovely time
to be here because much of life moves outdoors. Rain is, however,
possible in any month, so come prepared. From November to early March,
skies tend to be gloomy and the mercury often drops below freezing. On
the plus side, there are fewer visitors and shorter queues. Avoid major
holidays like Easter, Christmas and New Year and special events such as
Loveparade - unless, of course, that's what brings you here in the
first place
