October
It's getting nippy again and trees start shedding their summer coats, but Ber-
lin keeps a bright disposition and not only during the Festival of Lights.
Festival of Lights
For two weeks Berlin is all about 'lightseeing' during this shimmering festival
(
www.festival-of-lights.de
)
when historic landmarks such as the TV Tower, the Berliner
Dom and the Brandenburg Gate sparkle with illuminations, projections and fireworks.
Porn Film Festival
Vintage porn, Japanese porn, indie porn, sci-fi porn - the 'Berlinale' of sex
(
www.pornfilmfestivalberlin.de
)
brings alternative skin flicks out of the smut corner and
onto the big screen.
November
A great time to visit if you don't like crowds but are keen on snapping up
hotel bargains. Weatherwise it's not the prettiest of months.
BerMuDa
A celebration of electronic dance music, BerMuDa (Berlin Music Days) brings the world's
best DJs to Berlin's top clubs for sweaty dance-a-thons (
www.bermuda-berlin.de
)
.
JazzFest Berlin
This top-rated jazz festival (
www.berlinerfestspiele.de
) has doo-wopped in Berlin since
1964 and presents fresh and big-time talent in dozens of performances all over town.
December
Days are short and cold but the mood is festive, thanks to dressed-up shop
windows, illuminated streets and facades, and Christmas markets redolent
with the aroma of roast almonds and mulled wine.
