Berlin on a budgetShowHide
A day in Berlin costs £36.05 per person on the ground on a budget, before the flight, eating and drinking at the cheaper end of what places charge. At typical prices it is £42.17, and a day that does not watch the pennies runs to £67.55. The food and drink prices are real menu prices we read in Berlin on 21 Oct and 25 Oct, turned into pounds at the day's exchange rate, not guesses.
