Summer time is outdoor time. In Germany locals and visitors alike flock outside to enjoy sunshine, open air festivals and the best of German cuisine. In the summer, travelers can enjoy long, sunny days with temperatures often ranging between 70° and 80° F, an invitation for bicycle rides, days on the beach or hikes in the Alps. On the German Fairytale Road, puppet theater and other plays will celebrate 200 years of the Brothers Grimm in 2012.
Have a great summer and happy travels!

Summer festivals nationwide
During the summer, Germany’s festival season is in full swing with events and celebrations everywhere. With many festivities happening outside, visitors can fully relish the warm temperatures. Between July and August, almost every German city organizes a city festival (“Stadtfest”) where locals of all ages enjoy open-air concerts, fun rides, fireworks and lots of food and drink in the heart of their city. It is a great experience for travelers to take part in these (free) festivities and to soak up some local flavor. Dresden ’s Stadtfest is especially worth visiting: It is celebrated in the charming Baroque Old Town. InBerlin , a summer highlight is the Classic Open-Air Festival at Gendarmenmarkt, a beautiful historic square in the city. Since the 14th century, Hamburg celebrates the DOM, one of the largest open-air fun fairs in northern Germany.
