Quick question for the Berlin regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

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

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
