Things to Do in Berlin in September
Although it will be a bit cooler this month than it was during the summer, there won't be too much rain, so you might want to consider going on a pay-what-you-wish walking tour in Berlin.
September marks the beginning of Oktoberfest, so there will definitely be plenty of food stalls, games, rides, and other fun activities to enjoy.
