Berlin is a stunning city, but it certainly can get cold over the winter months. If you’re planning a winter vacation to Germany’s capital, make sure you check out these tips on what to pack so you’re not left feeling cold and miserable.

Faux Fur Coat

A thick, lustrous faux fur coat will keep you warm and help you blend in with the locals. You can keep it chic and classic, or opt to make a style statement in a bold, neon hue. A longline coat will keep you warmer, but a jacket may be more versatile as this can be styled with dresses, skirts, and pants.

Beanie Hat

The severity of the cold in Berlin makes cold weather gear including hats, scarves, and gloves essential. Pick a beanie in a fun, bright shade, to put a pop of color back into the day, no matter how grey Berlin’s skies are.

Waterproof Boots

Berlin gets its fair share of rain, and nothing ruins a day out quicker than having cold, wet feet. Make sure to bring some sturdy, comfortable, waterproof boots, so you can stride around the streets without worrying about your footwear.
