When to go à BERLIN ?
Berlin is located in the centre of a plain, punctuated by numerous lakes and forests. Winds from the east bring a dry cold and it is the westerly winds that drain the humidity. Its continental climate is characterized by cold and rather dry winters (on average -2 °C), short days (night from 4 p.m.) and pleasantly hot summers. The spring weather is rather unstable, oscillating between warm and sunny days and rainy days.
Berlin has a temperate climate representative of Central Europe. In summer, the average temperature is 22°C, with July and August being the hottest months, sometimes scorching. September and October are mild and dry. May and June are rainier. In winter, the temperatures go down to -5 °C and to -10 °C at night. But winter is dry.
Summer is the most pleasant time to visit Berlin, which then takes on a completely different face. Enjoying the high temperatures of a continental climate, parks, lakes and café terraces are stormed and good humour reappears with the return of the sun. Swimming pools (Freibad) and open-air cinemas (Freiluftkino) open their doors and everyone gathers in the Strandbars (outdoor bars, equipped with sand) and Biergarten. Winter can be very harsh in Berlin, but when the wind from Siberia rushes down the main avenues, it is also the time of the magical Christmas markets and the toboggan runs at the Teufelsberg. Be aware that during trade fairs, congresses and other festivals, hotels are quickly full, so remember to book early for such events.

Discover BERLIN
Berlin is an astonishing city, where the ups and downs of its turbulent history never cease to surprise, and to discover it is to come face to face with its tortured past. Until the end of the 20th century, the city was at the heart of the conflicts and tensions of the Cold War. Today, it fascinates because it is the story of a rebirth, of an unexpected comeback. The architecture of the reconstruction after the fall of the Wall is fascinating for its creativity. Many major architectural firms were involved in rebuilding a city whose urban fabric is still riddled with gaping wounds. But Berlin has come to terms with its scars. The city also holds a privileged place on the international art scene: its theaters, operas and museums, which have a long tradition, are world-renowned. As for the independent art scene, the Freie Szene, it is essentially forward-looking.
