\nWhen booking your trip, keep the Elbe River seasons in mind, with warmer months between May to September where the average temperature is around 70 degrees \u2013 owing to a high-traffic tourist season. These months can also produce more rain, so be sure to dress appropriately and wear good walking shoes. \u00a0October and December are a favorite holiday Christmas season for tourists and temperatures range around the 50-degree point. January and February bring a frigid climate, which then begins to warm up going into Spring.<\/p>\n
