WHEN TO GO

Lying in the heart of Europe, Berlin’s climate is continental: winters are bitingly cold, summers hot. If you’re hanging on for decent weather, April is the soonest you should go: any earlier and you’ll need to don winter clothing, earmuffs and a decent pair of waterproof shoes; this said, the city (especially the eastern part) does have a particular poignancy when it snows. Ideally, the best time to arrive is in May; June and July can be wearingly hot, though the famed Berlin air (Berliner Luft – there’s a song about it) keeps things bearable. The weather stays good (if unpredictable) right up until October.
