Been thinking about visiting Berlin and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Berlin — overrated?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $114/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
