Anyone spent a winter in Berlin? It's incredibly cold. Traveling around the city on bicycle, train etc is great during the pleasant summer months but it's literally painful during the winter.
- notJim 14y agoWikipedia lists the average lows during the winter as around freezing, which is not really that cold… Comparable to (actually slighter warm than) NYC winters, for example.
- nirvana 14y agoWe were there in the winter of 2010, which was called "the coldest winter in berlin in a century" at the time. Walking around outside on the coldest days, it was rather cold, but not that bad at all. Certainly getting around on the u-bahn was perfectly comfortable and the s-bahn was fine too. Really didn't mind it much at all.
- graue 14y agoJudging by WeatherSpark's history and averages for Berlin, the winter temps basically hover around freezing at worst, while summers are very mild. That's a strictly better climate than New York, which has comparable winters, but hot, humid summers. I live in a city that gets much colder than that in the winters, but still has plenty of bicyclists year round. It's all a matter of perspective.
