When to go Berlin
The visitors fascinate Berlin whole of the year, but the best suited time to arrive is between May and September, when the weather is 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 Love parade - unless, of course, that's what brings you here in the first place. All shops, banks, government offices and post offices close on public holidays.
