Daytime

You want a proper coat in Hamburg in February, not a festival jacket. Wind makes the same afternoon feel sharper than the map suggests.

Outdoor time is the middle of the day. Finish plans before the light goes. Evenings are for indoors.

Rain

February is on the drier side of the year in Hamburg. Showers are possible. They do not define the month.

A shell that lives in the bag is enough. This is not July, and it should not be packed as if it were.

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
