Berlin is a sleek, cosmopolitan city, with numerous historic sights and museums, as well as amazing architecture, shopping, dining and an eclectic music scene. It’s worth a visit at any time of the year, but does experience large swings in temperature from season to season. If you visit between May – September, temperatures are hot, soaring to above 30 degrees Celsius. Many tourists visit Berlin during the summer, which means that hotels are booked early and flights more expensive. During spring, from March – May, temperatures are moderate, with highs ranging from 8 – 19 degrees Celsius. September and October are possibly the best months to visit Berlin, because the summer crowds vanish, but the weather is still quite warm, around 13 – 19 degrees Celsius. November through February can be downright chilly and there’s always a chance of snow, but if you don’t mind single digit temperatures, you can find great deals on hotels and flights. It can get a bit busier during the holiday season, but it’s worth visiting then to see and shop Berlin’s famous Christmas markets.

Currently, Germany travel restrictions include travel to Berlin. Germany has restricted the entry of travelers who are arriving from outside the European Economic Area, except for nationals of Germany, residents with a residence permit, and D-Visa holders, and certain exceptions (detailed below). As of June 25, travelers arriving from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom may enter Germany. Germany has also lifted restrictions on entry for travelers coming from the following countries: Australia, Canada, Georgia, New Zealand, Thailand and Uruguay. Travelers must have spent at least 2 weeks in the above-listed countries prior to their flight to Germany. Restrictions will also be lifted for entry from South Korea, China and Japan if this can be agreed on a reciprocal basis. The list will be reviewed every two weeks. Entry from any third country is possible for travelers who can demonstrate an important reason for their travel. The list of important reasons covers German and EU citizens and any third-country nationals with a right of residency in Germany. It also includes healthcare and social care personnel and health researchers, skilled workers whose economic activity is necessary and cannot be postponed or performed from abroad, freight and transport staff, seasonal workers, students who cannot continue their studies from abroad, travelers making visits for urgent family reasons, diplomats and staff at international organisations, and persons transiting Germany. Travelers entering Germany after staying in a designated risk area abroad during the previous 14 days must undergo mandatory testing for Covid-19.

Travelers who need to be tested have the choice to either present a valid test taken within 48 hours prior to arrival, take a test on arrival at the airport, or take a test after returning to their place of residence in Germany, by reporting to the local health office. The test is free of charge if taken within 72 hours of arrival. Travelers with a negative test may be exempted from the 14-day self-isolation requirement, but some German states require a second negative test before granting an exemption from quarantine. Quarantine requirements in Germany differ depending on the German state. All travelers arriving from high-risk areas (over 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants) are required to stay in quarantine for 14 days on arrival in Germany. More information can be found here. If you are planning to travel to Berlin at this time, it is recommended that you stay up to date on current restrictions and follow proper safety measures while in public.

How to get around in Berlin?
Berlin boasts grand avenues, pedestrian-only streets, lush parks, beautiful squares, and riverside and canalside promenades. You can and should explore and enjoy it on foot, although it’s much too large to be entirely walkable. It can be complicated traveling between Berlin’s Eastern and Western neighborhoods, but with the completion of the Ringbahn in 2002, East and West Berlin transport systems were knit back together. The various modes of transport run on frequent intervals and you can trust the timetables, which makes getting around Berlin easier.

You can further save on transportation and sightseeing with a Berlin WelcomeCard; a 48-hour, 72-hour, or a 5-day pass costs €19.00 EUR, 25.00 EUR, or €32.00 EUR.

Things to do and places of interest in Berlin
Berlin boasts a dizzying mix of old and new, its rich history juxtaposed against the avant-garde, with a bit of a cheeky attitude. Berlin is widely regarded as Europe’s coolest city. Here are a few suggestions for your Berlin itinerary.
- Visit Checkpoint Charlie, an infamous part of the Berlin Wall, steeped in fascinating and disturbing history, as the most famous crossing point between East and West Germany.
- Spend some time at the Holocause Memorial, a sombre place designed by architect Peter Eisenmann and opened in 2005, to memorialize murdered Jewish people.
- See the iconic Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s only surviving historical city gate, which once symbolised Berlin’s division into East and West, and now serves as a symbol of reunification.
- Another famous Berlin landmark, the Reichstag, is a must-see. The seat of the German Parliament may be toured, but is often horrendously busy, so book your tour ahead of time.
- Visit the Unesco Heritage site, Museum Island, with five conveniently adjacent museums, all located on an easily accessible “island” along the river Spree.
- For a change of pace, visit the Ballhaus Berlin, an old fashioned dance hall where nostalgia meets modern technology, with events such as tango nights, swing evenings, hit parties, burlesque adventures, and soul and funk dance nights.
- Stroll along Prenzlauer Berg’s Mauerpark (open daily from 8am-sunset) where on Sundays, you’ll find a giant flea market.
