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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
