When to go

Greifswald is warmest in August at 18.7 °C but brightest in June, averaging 13.2 hours of sun a day — the two do not always coincide, which is worth knowing before booking. Its coldest is January at 3.1 °C.

Staying there

A hotel room in Germany emits about 13.2 kg CO₂e per night under UK Government 2026 factors, so a week adds roughly 92 kg — about 18.1× the carbon of getting there by rail from Berlin.

How busy it gets

Vorpommern-Greifswald records 27.4 overnight stays per resident a year (6,158,838 nights in 2024). A well-visited region, busy in season but not overwhelmed.

Eurostat, nights spent at tourist accommodation by NUTS 3 region, against resident population. Shown for context only — it plays no part in which destinations appear or in what order. Eurostat does not cover the United Kingdom after 2016, nor North Africa or the Levant at all, so this figure is absent for roughly a third of the destinations here.
