You can visit the city of Berlin throughout the year, and there will always be something going on that is of interest. The weather during the summer is the best, with hot temperatures during the day, and warm evenings that make touring the city's nightlife an absolute pleasure. During the winter, you find that the city is a gloomy place to visit, with cold temperatures, although you find that all the attractions are still open, and you do get excellent value deals on the hotels in the city. The city gets very busy over major dates such as Christmas, and New Year, Easter, and the weekend of the famous Love Parade, and hotels need to be booked well in advance of travel to avoid being disappointed.
