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 Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
