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.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $117/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.
