Quick answers
Sometimes, but it is more of a selective pick than an all-purpose recommendation.
Expect around 2.5°C by day and -1.4°C at night, with 57.3 mm of rain across roughly 11.6 rainy days.
Pack warm layers, a light rain jacket, and shoes that handle wet pavements well.
It can. The month usually works best when museums, churches, galleries, or other covered landmarks carry the core of the day and outdoor time stays flexible.
