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 Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

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