RV rental in Berlin

Berlin, the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, is an ideal destination for campers.

The city offers a lot of variety. A variety of cultural, historical and architecturally interesting sights can be visited here.

Berlin is a colourful mix of cultures and therefore a very lively city. But nature lovers don't miss out either. There are numerous parks, green spaces and nature reserves in and around the city.

Rent RV in Berlin: campsites

Top campsites like Sanssouci in Potsdam/Berlin or Hotel & City Camping Nord Media make every camping holiday a real experience. Both sites are located directly on the water and surrounded by beautiful nature, but at the same time central enough to reach the city centre easily.

To save on parking fees in the city, it makes sense to use public transport. Sanssouci even offers its own transfer. This way you can enjoy Berlin in a relaxed way. Renting a bike is a good alternative to the bus.

Berlin has a temperate Central European climate. There are 4 seasons in Europe: Spring, summer, autumn and winter.

RV rental in Berlin: The winter months of December, January and February

The winter months are quite cool with temperatures at a maximum of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius in January and February. These are not good conditions to rent a campervan.

RV rental in Berlin: The spring months of March, April and May

In the spring months of March and April, temperatures slowly rise to a maximum of 10 degrees. From May onwards it gets really warm. The early spring months are only recommended for hardy campers. The campervan should definitely have a good auxiliary heater. The nights are still very cool.

RV rental in Berlin: June, July and August

Now temperatures reach 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. Perfect conditions to rent a campervan. The temperatures remain summery warm in June, July and August. Swimming in the numerous lakes is possible during these months.

RV rental in Berlin: September, October and November

In autumn, the leaves fall, but this time is ideal for walking and to savour the last warm rays of sunshine. At the end of November, winter descends on the city and it becomes cold and unpleasant. It is no longer recommended to spend the night outside. Most campsites are closed in November anyway.

Berlin has so many sights that it's hard to choose. The 10 sights you shouldn't miss can be found here:

Destination 1: Brandenburg Gate

The Brandenburg Gate is the city's landmark. It is easily accessible with a campervan. When it was completed in 1791, it was just one of the countless city gates, but today it has achieved world fame, not least because of reunification. You should also visit Pariser Platz directly in front of the gate.

Destination 2: Berlin Wall Memorial and Documentation Centre

The Berlin Wall Memorial commemorates the time when Germany was divided into two parts after World War II. It consists of a memorial to the victims of the Wall, an information centre and a chapel.

The East Side Gallery with its colourful and sometimes thoughtful graffiti is also very typical of the city's history. Some of the old watchtowers are still standing here.

Destination 3: Reichstag

The government district with the Berlin Reichstag and numerous imposing buildings such as the Chancellery is also worth seeing. From the glass dome you can enjoy a magnificent view or watch the debates. You can also hire a guide who will tell you everything you need to know.

Destination 4: TV tower

Especially at sunset, the 368-metre-high tower is a highlight. Enjoy a 360° view of the city. A subsequent stroll through Alexanderplatz rounds off the tour.

Destination 5: Potsdamer Platz

Potsdamer Platz also has a turbulent history behind it. Between 1945 and the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was considered a no-man's land. Today, many new buildings such as the Sony Center are located on the square.

Destination 6: Kurfürstendamm

Shopping on the Kudamm is a real experience. The popular shopping mile is home to numerous shops of noble brands and large fashion chains. KaDeWe, one of the largest shopping centres in Europe, is a small world in itself.
