If we had to choose a season, we&#8217;d choose the month of May when temperatures start to get warmer, <strong>the cherry trees start to blossom and the festival season kicks off in Berlin<\/strong>. However, there are also other factors that can play a part in choosing when to visit Germany. While winter can be long and very cold, it&#8217;s the best time of year for <strong>winter sports enthusiasts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storms are frequent when the spring festivals begin, and <strong>in summer you can enjoy up to 18 hours of sunlight<\/strong>. When the year comes to an end, the snow returns with its charming Christmas markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best time to travel to Germany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding when to travel to Germany is very personal, so we want to share some information about the country that might help you choose a date for your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">January<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The January blues hit hard in Germany and this is a very quiet, and cold, month. It&#8217;s off season, so it might be worth taking a look at the prices. There are lots of events to be enjoyed, focusing on <strong>The Three Wise Men and Berlin Fashion Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">February<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the month of February the country remains in hibernation, off the ski slopes and hosts some cultural festivals of international importance. <strong>Berlinale, the well-known film festival<\/strong> is one of them. Cologne Carnival is also a great event that attracts thousands of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">March<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/colonia.jpg\" alt=\"Cologne\" class=\"wp-image-4082\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although spring is just around the corner, it&#8217;s still cold in March, but the locals start to enjoy the outdoors, helped by some good beers. Munich hosts the <strong>Starkbierziet or strong beer festival, <\/strong>which could be considered as a kind of Oktoberfest for a privileged few. You can taste craft beer at half price and without the crowds of tourists. So, if you&#8217;re interested in German beer and don&#8217;t know when to travel to Germany, March may be a good option. It also celebrates <strong>St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, the Cologne Literature Festival and the Leipzig Book Fair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">April<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>April is a month packed with events, art fairs and Easter celebrations. The biggest and most important of the spring festivals in Germany are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-tourismus.de\/en\/Discover-Experience\/Events\/Festivals-in-Frankfurt\/Spring-Dippemess\">Dippemess<\/a>&nbsp; in Frankfurt and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cannstatter_Volksfest\">Cannstatter Wasen<\/a> in Stuttgart. But the most peculiar is, without a doubt, the <strong>Walpurgis or Hexennacht night<\/strong>. Legend has it that on the night of April 30th, the witches fly to Mount Brocken where a feast takes place to mark the beginning of spring. Many people come to this area dressed as witches and dance around a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>cherry blossoms <\/strong>make the country a beautiful natural spectacle. Tourists and locals visit the trails and parks dominated by flowers, but there are no crowds yet as it is not yet peak season. This month&#8217;s events are also eye-catching and top-notch, such as <strong>Burning Rhine. <\/strong>The city&#8217;s many attractions include a variety of restaurants, Father&#8217;s Day celebrations, long nights of museums and music in Frankfurt and Munich, as well as local gastronomic delights such as white asparagus and <strong>fruit wines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June, July and August<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer is pleasant in Germany. There are <em>biergartens<\/em>open everywhere and you can enjoy outdoor pools and lakeside beaches. A number of diverse festivals are held, such as the Berlin Festival of Cultures, the <strong>Munich Opera Festival, the Gay Pride march <\/strong>(or Christopher Street Day) or various Wine Festivals. It&#8217;s peak season which means high prices and a large influx of tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">September and October<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/frankfurt.jpg\" alt=\"frankfurt\" class=\"wp-image-4084\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Autumn arrives, leaving some landscapes worth a visit and the Germans love to enjoy wine and beer at this time of year. <strong>Oktoberfest <\/strong>is the most striking international event, as millions of visitors come to drink beer and eat sausages. In September, the city of <strong>Bad D\u00fcrkheim celebrates Wurstmarkt, the largest wine festival <\/strong>in the world. It&#8217;s also worth visiting the Festival of Lights in Berlin and the Frankfurt Book Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">November and December<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Temperatures and the number of visitors drop considerably and everything calms down considerably. The <strong>St. Martin&#8217;s Day <\/strong>celebrations when children decorate their own lanterns and parade through the night takes place in October.&nbsp; As soon as December arrives, Christmas can be breathed in the streets of German cities, which are filled with charming traditional markets and are certainly worth a visit. Especially those in <strong>Dresden and Nuremberg which are the most historic.<\/strong>&nbsp; Christmas is the best time to travel to Germany if you&#8217;re not bothered by the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.travel\/europe\/central-europe\/germany\/cologne\">Germany holiday packages<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any time can be the best time to travel to Germany as the country offers endless attractions all year round.
