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
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Avoid Kurfürstenstraße? Or is it fine?

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

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