ummer in Berlin is perhaps the time that both locals and visitors are most fond of. There are days of sunshine when visitors
can head out to see some of the rich architecture and experience the culture of this constantly evolving, beautiful and
pulsating city. Then there are days when the rain caresses the earth, slowing down the pace, so you can really drink in the
sights, sounds and vibrations that make Berlin wonderful.
