When to go
Berlin is in a temperate climate zone so the general weather is quite pleasant all through the year. There are four distinct seasons. Temperatures don’t have too large a range between the extremes; -1°C in the winter (December-February) up to around 25°C in the summer (June-August). Needless to say, if you do not enjoy the cold, do not travel in winter, and if you do, remember to take enough warm clothing. The tourist season is from May to October but there are attractions and festivals all through the year. Check beforehand to see which ones you will be able to witness. Being the arts and music hub of Germany, there will definitely be several concerts, plays and exhibitions on play during your trip for you to take advantage of.

Fast Facts
-Location: Berlin is situated in the north-east of Germany, in the midst of a network of lakes and marshes. The river Spree follows a valley carved out by ice flows many thousands of years ago, and meets the wide river Havel in the borough of Spandau. Most of the region is flat with a few rolling hills. It is about 70km west from the border of Poland, and is completely surrounded by the region of Brandenburg. It is the cultural and administrative capital and most populous city in Germany, and is also a centre for commerce with many European companies headquartered there.
