You would rather visit Berlin though, but how sure are you to go through in the winter? In fact, Berlin is a town with its own allure in colder seasons. In this blog post we’ll take a look at the reasons why Berlin should be visited in winter.
1. Christmas Markets and Joyful Environment
You already know that Berlin’s enchanted winter markets are legendary, for they pepper the city with markets during the holidays. These markets feature booths of all shapes and sizes, selling specialty handmade goods, mouth watering cuisine, and cozy glühwein—mulled wine. The Christkindlmarkt at Alexanderplatz is the most famous of Berlin’s winter markets with its Ferris wheel, ice skating rink, and many booths selling one of a kind items.
2. Reduced Traveler Count
Berlin is a great place to visit, offering you the view of a city without throngs of visitors, and due to the fact that wintertime in Berlin can be hellish, it’s the perfect time to visit. Though the summer months may be packed with visitors from everywhere or possibly even from some other planet, the winter season has shorter lines, less congested sights, and provides greater opportunities to see the city as a local, despite the fact. The time is flexible so you can spend it slowing down and relishing Berlin’s chronicled past, its museums and monuments without being hurried or overburdened.
3. Beautiful Landscape and Architecture
In winter, winter transforms Berlin’s buildings and landscapes into a lovely winter wonderland. Step aside flash floods and imagine strolling across the Tiergarten park, the air frosty, trees frozen around you or staring at the Brandenburg Gate sprinkled with a dusting of snow. In the winter, Berlin’s architecture, such as the Berlin Cathedral, or Charlottenburg Palace, looks significantly more beautiful and there are many more nice photo chances and, overall, a really fabulous experience.
4. Indoor Attractions and Museums
So, Berlin is the perfect place for winter, with it offering some really great indoor attractions and top notch museums. Get your feet warmed by visiting the DDR Museum, or taking a trip through the Pergamon Museum and admire some fine archaeological artifacts from around the world. And one of Berlin’s great little cafes serves as one of Berlin’s many warm little cafes where you can sip hot chocolate and enjoy a piece of classic German cake.
5. Winter Activities and Games
If you do enjoy the outdoors however, Berlin offers chances for winter sports and activities. Take a look at the bunch of ice rinks spread across the city, good to visit with friends or family to go ice skating. Located in the Valley of the Spree, Tiergarten is Berlin’s biggest park and offers cross-country skiing paths, but if you’re feeling more brave, you could do ice diving in the Grunewald woodland. Winter lets you welcome these pursuits and enjoy Berlin’s natural splendor.
Last Thoughts
Many visitors think of Berlin as a summer destination, but there’s a lot going on in winter too. For those visits to Berlin during winter, being a special, fulfilling, thing could be the visit to winter markets and to the festive feelings, to the amazing architecture and to the cardboard waiting queues in the museums if it’s not the season for special events. So, during the winter months Berlin is definitely worth a visit if it’s not cold enough to make you wrap up your mind.
