Every city in Germany is beautiful in June, flowers are in bloom, sidewalk cafes are open, even the Germans in the northern cities are in good spirits. A little bit of sunshine can make a lot of difference, of course, you can expect a little rain, but just make sure you either pick up a cheap umbrella for a few euros and wear shoes that won't make you slip on rainy streets. My daughter and I have played slip n' slide through the streets of Hamburg and Cologne in June, so be prepared, simply layer your clothes a little and keep one of those little purse umbrellas with you. Don't let a little rain stop you, weather can change on a dime and, actually, some of my favorite days in Germany have been rainy summer days, a downpour followed by sunshine and rainbows. I spent two rainy June days touring the castles of the Rhine and it was incredibly romantic.
