It is time for you to travel to Germany and you are curious what to wear. Well, April in Germany is quite an unpredictable country. You could go from needing a thick fur jacket in the morning to rocking a simple t-shirt and shorts by the afternoon. It’s like the weather can’t make up its mind!
But if I had to give some advice, I’d say you can’t go wrong with a reliable pair of jeans and a cozy pullover in Spring. I mean, seriously, April in Germany is like a rollercoaster ride of temperatures. One moment you’re basking in 20°C sunshine, and the next you’re getting pelted with ice-cold rain or even hail at a refreshing 0°C. It’s enough to make you want to pack your entire wardrobe!
So, my tip? Layer up, my friend. Layer up like there’s no tomorrow. I’m talking at least three layers, but honestly, four or five wouldn’t hurt. That way, you can peel off or pile on as the weather gods see fit.
