Best time to visit Berlin

Winters in Berlin are harsh, with temperatures regularly hitting -10 degrees Celsius . Average temperatures in spring, summer, and autumn are much kinder, with the city bursting to life in the summer weather. The best time to visit Berlin would be anytime between May and September as these months fall over the warmer seasons where visitors can enjoy visiting the many side walk cafes and parks, or a simple-yet beautiful stroll through the city. Travelling to Berlin between January and April will save you a lot of money as these are considered the “bone-chilling periods” of Berlin where not much is going on due to the icy cold temperatures, but it is still beautiful enough to enjoy.

Visa & Customs

Those holding a South African passport will need a visa to travel to Berlin. Ensure your South African passport is not older than 10 years, has at least 3 months remaining on it from your date of departure from Germany and that it has at least 2 blank pages available for stamps.

Health & Safety

Berlin is a tolerant city sometimes known as the “Atheist Capital of Europe”. That being said, Christians, Muslims, and Jews all have communities in the city. In fact, Berlin has one of the fastest-growing Jewish communities in the world. In Germany, as in some other European countries, publicly denying the events of the Holocaust is illegal.

Where to Stay?

Berlin is a heady destination where not only will you never run out of entertainment, but there will never be a shortage of amazing spots to pick and choose from. There are various hotels to stay in whilst visiting this German capital city. Some of the best places to stay are in the eighteenth-century suburb Spandauer Vorstadt. This is a suburb that most locals consider to be the most obvious area to stay in Berlin for its good selection of hostels, hotels and city-centre attractions.

If you plan on staying a little longer than a few days and prefer a quieter, less touristy neighbourhood, then Prenzlauer Berg is a place designed just for you. Lastly, no visit to a new city (especially Berlin) would be complete if you do not get the opportunity to experience the local culture, which is why Kreuzberg makes this list – as it is one of Berlin’s most colourful districts.

Getting Around

The best and cheapest way of getting around Berlin would be with their efficient public transport system. The public transportation system includes train rail, buses and underground subways. Alternatively there are taxi’s that can be found or called throughout the city which visitors can make use of. The car hire dealerships that are located at the airport include; Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz, National, Sixt and Thrifty.
