Has anyone been to Berlin recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
