Germany has four genuine and distinctive seasons β€” every one with an experience worth visiting for 🏰🍺. Berlin the modern capital, Bavaria with its castles and Alps, and the Romantic Road with its fairy-tale villages. The climate is generally moderate β€” no extreme heat and no brutal cold in the cities. But each season has something special to offer.
