Visiting Berlin is a delightful experience at any time of the year, but the best time to visit is generally from May through September. During these months, the city bursts into life with pleasant temperatures, outdoor events, and lush greenery. The weather is warm, with average temperatures ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F), making it perfect for exploring the historic streets, enjoying the many parks, or partaking in the city's numerous outdoor festivals. Summer, especially June and July, sees Berlin at its most vibrant, with events like Karneval der Kulturen and the world-famous Berlin Pride, known as Christopher Street Day (CSD).
However, if you prefer a quieter time with fewer tourists and don't mind the cold, consider visiting in the early spring or late autumn. Late October and November showcase autumnal colors and crisp air. On the other hand, springtime, particularly in April and May, brings about the reawakening of city flora, Easter celebrations, and the Gallery Weekend Berlin, an event for art lovers. Those willing to endure the cooler temperatures of winter can enjoy the magical Christmas markets and the vibrant New Year's celebrations. Moreover, visiting in the off-peak season could mean lower prices for accommodation and airfare.
