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 the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Berlin — rainy season worth going?

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $136/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
