Berlin Orientation

Geographically, Berlin is huge – 38 km (23 miles) from north to south, and 45 km (27 miles) east to west. The city is about nine times the size of Paris. However, tourist Berlin is much smaller and easily manageable on foot or with public transportation. Berlin can be enjoyed in all seasons, although winters can be a bit cold and bleak. The most popular seasons are spring and autumn. Summer can be hot and slightly humid. July and August are excellent months to visit the city – as Germans prefer to head to the coasts or countryside for summer vacations, the hotel prices drop dramatically and sights can be enjoyed, with a bit of luck, in glorious sunshine and without entrance lines.
