How to Pack Lightly For Your Berlin Getaway

Berlin is a mixture of aged architecture and modern pop culture. Whether you’re planning to check out art galleries or walk along cobblestone streets in the rain, always pack lightly with the right clothing for an unforgettable trip.

What the Weather is Like in Berlin

The climate in Berlin changes constantly, fluctuating between warm and cold the same day! Expect winters with freezing temperatures and summers that are comfortably hot, with spring and fall located somewhere in the middle – usually more towards the cold end because of the city’s abundant wind and rain.

How To Pack Lightly For a Weekend Trip

The key to successfully dressing in Berlin is to focus on layers. With Berlin’s hip culture, you’ll fit right in even with comfortable shoes and your favorite pair of jeans. For a weekend trip in spring or fall, try this:

  • One or two pairs of jeans, cargo pants or capris
  • Jacket
  • Two short-sleeve t-shirts
  • Long-sleeve shirt
  • One pair of wool socks in addition to normal socks
  • Comfortable shoes
  • Scarf

Other year-round essentials include an umbrella, tech devices with charger and power adapter for Germany, your toiletry bag and any makeup you want to bring.

How To Pack Lightly For a Week in Berlin in Winter

Visiting in winter means fewer lines and some unique photographs – plus a very inspiring ambience for writers and artists. For winter, follow these additional recommendations:

  • Winter underwear
  • Winter coat
  • Several sweaters
  • Two pairs of jeans
  • Two pairs of pants
  • One long-sleeve shirt per day
  • Three short-sleeve  t-shirts
  • Boots, gloves, scarves and hats
  • Medium and heavyweight socks

When it comes to boots, gloves and other winter wear, try to bring one pair for style and another pair for staying toasty.
