Amsterdam and Berlin
The verdict for November
Quiet, dark and good value
+One of the quietest and better-value periods.
–Dark, cold and wet.
Museums, brown cafés and restaurants nearly to yourself, at rates far below the spring and summer peak. Bring waterproofs and a plan for the dark.
Grey, moody and made for museums.
+Quiet city + good hotel value
–Grey, damp and dark early
November is cold and often grey, but it is one of Berlin’s best months for space and value. Museums, cafés, concerts and clubs stay busy, and the first Christmas markets open towards the end of the month.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
