How The Month Feels
Days hover around 5°C, while nights dip to about -1°C, and the sky stays gray often enough to matter. With roughly 12 rainy days and about 4.8 sunshine hours, you’ll feel most comfortable keeping indoor museums as your main anchor.
What To Lock In Early
Low crowd levels and low prices suggest you can often keep the plan flexible, but it’s still smart to secure museum time if you have fixed entry windows. If you’re aiming to include the two outdoor landmarks, book with weather in mind and keep at least one outdoor slot adjustable for rain.

Quick answers
Sometimes, but it is more of a selective pick than an all-purpose recommendation.
Expect around 5.4°C by day and -1.2°C at night, with 56.3 mm of rain across roughly 12.2 rainy days.
Pack warm layers, a light rain jacket, and shoes that handle wet pavements well.
Often yes. This kind of month can make more sense on value than on perfect conditions, especially if cheaper stays and flights matter more than peak-season polish.
