Summer in Berlin
Berlin might not located nearby the sea or beach but it surrounded by lakes and it is definitely one of the greenest city in Europe.
So take your bikini and sunscreen, get ready for some splashes and get tanned!
The only sand beach Germany has are the one in the North sea or Baltic sea. Although most southern Germans prefer to travel to Italy instead to the north for their summer vacation.
During summer I do not travel to the north or south, the reasons are simple; the accomodation is pretty costly on summer (the affordabe ones are sold out), plus I could not stand the crowd of people fighting for their spots on the beach.
Me, like most of Berliner, enjoy summer in the city. We simply take a picnic basket or griller and enjoy the whole day in the park (please keep in mind not all of the parks in Berlin is allowing people to barbeque).
Another ways of enjoying summer are heading to the lakes, either swimming, bathing, sailing or all of them.
