Welcome to Berlin! A beautiful city which is also a very lively city for people throughout the year. If your interest is to tour and taste the four seasons of Berlin on foot, then prepare to be surprised. Visit Berlin any time of the year and each month has its own flare and events to come along with it. There is a wide array of things that you can do and great places to visit throughout the year from the beautiful cherry blossom flowers in the springtime to Christmas fairs in winter. Now, let’s go through Berlin’s seasons and discover what you can enjoy each month you decide to explore Berlin.
January – March: Winter Wonder
As you probably know, winter in Berlin is predominantly cold with occasional snow, however, it is pekka and if you do not have to, I encourage you to get out. If it is snowing outside, dress warmly and go for a walk at the city parks surrounded by the white cover. For now, Berlin’s largest park, the Tiergarten, becomes a wonderland of snow covered trees and iced over lakes. By all means do not neglect the Brandenburg Gate that appears more like a fairy tale site when covered with snow.
What is also important to mention is during the January in Berlin ant number of Christmas markets take place. These markets allow people to have a glimpse of the holiday season, enjoy such great foods as glühwein and have the added bonus of sitting by fire pjes. Still, it is worth visiting the Winter World at Potsdamer Platz where you can go in-line skating, and, of course, admire the spectacular view of the town.
April – June: Spring Blooms
In spring, colours are all over Berlin; flowers bloom and trees come back with their fresh green leaves. April brings cherry blossoms! You may visit Kirschblütenallee in the Gardens of the World to see these fine pink petals in bloom or go to Lustgarten near the Berlin Cathedral. This is the best time to have a picnic in a park and strolling around in the neighborhood of the Spree River.
As a result, Berliners celebrate Labor Day in May called Myfest or a street festival in the district of Kreuzberg. Organizations, business and community groups will generate the lively atmosphere with music and food from various cultures will be for sale. June is for the carnival of cultures – multicultural festival which includes the performances, dances, parades, as well as the international foods.
July – September: Summer Vibes
Berlin is most vibrant during the summer period. As you enjoy your vacation in Berlin do not miss the long sunny days that are very appropriate for you to tour the various outdoors. Tempelhofer Feld is a closed airfield that was transformed into a park during the late 1990s – here you can fly a kite, for example, invite friends for a barbecue, etc. Or else, one can go Mauerpark on Sunday as it has a famous flea market and also good 4 karaoke show.
In August you are welcome in Berlin to have a great time at the International Beer Festival where you will be served all popular beers. Enjoy your beer sipped to the rhythm of the beats from the musical performances with station1580 food vendors offering delicious food. September also mark the Berlin Marathon, which is among the elite marathon races popular all over the world. Be part of the multitude clapping hands and let the spirit of the participants encourage you.
October – December: Festive Delights
As the temperature decrease Berlin goes into Christmas celebration mood. October is the right time to attend as many pumpkin Events in cities as possible and to appreciate the colorful trees in parks like Treptower Park and Volkspark Friedrichshain. There are so many markets that open from November in particular marking the beginning of the Christmas season.
That is why December in Berlin is rather a wonderful idea. The buildings are all lit, and festooned; the smell of good food and glogg permeates the city. Some of the popular Christmas markets are Gendarmenmarkt, traditional market at Charlottenburg palace. It is also advisable to taste some delicious Lebkuchen (gingerbread) and to look at the souvenirs being made by hand.
Conclusion
That is why it is so spectacular to be guided through Berlin’s seasons – each of which can provide perhaps not even the most interesting, but definitely the different sights. Unlike a summer, each month has its own scenery, be it winter snow or colorful season of summer. Always wear the right clothes depending on the weather, train your feet to adapt to the shoes you intend to wear for the day, and wear comfortable clothes, eat well, take breaks in cafés.
From the lovers of nature, culture and especially food lovers, Berlin is a better city to be any time of the year. Welcome the changes and prepare for this exciting city on foot experience.
