When is the Best Time to Visit Germany?

During this period weather is warmest and allows the most opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, sightseeing, and cultural festivals that take place outdoors.

For those who prefer cooler weather - and avoiding the crowds and high prices that come with the summer travel season - the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are the best time to visit Germany, while winter is a great time if you want to experience the country’s Christmas markets and ski hills.
