Local quirks & hazards
- Long, dark, damp winters — the cold feels deeper than the thermometer suggests.
- Black ice on pavements and bike lanes December–February.
- Summer heat waves in poorly air-conditioned flats and U-Bahn trains.
- Cobblestones in older neighbourhoods; lots of walking between districts.
Dress & culture in Berlin
- Casual, dark-toned dress fits almost everywhere — including many restaurants.
- Clubs favour all-black, understated outfits; flashy looks can mean a door refusal.
- Saunas are usually nude and mixed — bring a large towel to sit on.
Leave at home
- Dressy heels — cobbles and long walks punish them.
- Bright 'tourist' rain ponchos; a dark hooded shell blends in.
