I will be in Berlin at the end of April. Is it worth it to take a night tour that starts at 6 pm ( 18.00) when su set isn't until 8:30. I want to see city lights.

I attended the Festival of Lights pre-COVID on the recommendation of MarkK. It was great.
Here's an idea for April, if tickets are available. Visit the dome of the Bundestag at a time that is something like 45-60 minutes before sunset. Walk the dome with the audio guide and see Berlin by sunlight, and then hand around on the roof until after dark. I have done this a couple of times. It's cool to watch the city move from light to twilight to dark from that vantage point.

Another vote for visiting the dome at sunset.

When I got to Berlin on my first trip in July of 1971 amid a heat wave which floored me, totally unprepared for that, I thought this must be the famous Berliner Luft. I saw on the postcards and heard from the youth, " Berlin ist dufte "....how true.
