Good to know

Few cities have reinvented themselves with the boundless creative energy of Berlin, and its distinct four seasons showcase completely different facets of its character. Summer (June to August) transforms the German capital into an open-air festival, with canal-side beer gardens, lively open-air cinemas, and vibrant parks like the Tiergarten packed with picnickers. Spring (May to June) brings blooming linden trees along Unter den Linden and pleasant temperatures for open-top bus tours between the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island. Autumn (September to October) delivers crisp golden foliage and the dazzling annual Festival of Lights illuminating historic landmarks. Winter brings romantic traditional Christmas markets with mulled Gluhwein, crowd-free galleries, and cozy evening cabaret culture.
