When is the Best Time to Visit Germany?

Whether you travel in autumn, winter, summer or spring, there is a destination for you. And even the places you might think are best in one season, are delightful in another. Then, you’ve got the beautiful Alps, snowy and ideal for skiing in the winter, and lush and green in the summer.

Spring and Autumn can be chilly, but April, May and September will see average highs reach 15–20°C. Summers are warm, with average temperatures between 20–30°C, though heatwaves can push higher. Winters are cold, with temperatures often between –1 and 5°C, and snow likely in the Alps, Black Forest, and occasionally in cities.
