When to go, and when not to
June through September stand out as the best months to visit Berlin, backed by high temperatures ranging from about 22.3C to 24.8C and strong sunshine totals, including 13.0 hours a day in June and 11.1 to 12.2 hours in May, August, and September. These conditions make for comfortable days of walking and outdoor sightseeing across the warmer half of the year.
The trade-off is that these same months make up the peak season, when the city sees the most visitors and likely the highest prices for lodging and services. July is also the wettest of the peak months with 112mm of rain, and August is the warmest with a 24.8C high, so travelers sensitive to heat or rain might prefer June or September within that same peak window.
