Berlin

Berlin Weather

Berlin is often described as having 'proper seasons', which would be considered by most Berliners as a fairly accurate description. The climate is continental; extremely cold winters and hot, sunny summers. Winters can reach as low as -15°C, and a white Christmas is almost a given in Berlin. Summers can be scorching and the rural-esque fringes of the city with its lakes and green areas can be a wonderful escape from the heat. Make sure you take your thermals if you're visiting in the winter months as the temperature can really take your breath away at times!

Berlin Tourist Seasons

The best time to visit Berlin is from late spring to early autumn such as May or June, September or October. During these months the weather is relatively warm and the tourist crowds are lower than in the summer season.

You can find cheap flights to Berlin almost all year, providing you can be flexible with your travel dates. Accommodation prices don't vary a great deal, but they are at their most expensive in the summer, and you're more likely to find a cheap hotel deal for the winter months. There's also the added benefit that the main attractions and tourist spots won't be so busy during the winter.
