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.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
