Quick question for the Berlin regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Is Berlin worth visiting?

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.
