Rest prices
Plan for at least three categories of expenses: accommodation, food and entertainment (including excursions and shopping). Let's try to calculate the average price of a holiday in Berlin.
It is one of the most expensive cities in Western Europe, so it is advisable to budget around 60 EUR per night for a double room (if you want to stay in the city center). According to reviews about vacations in Berlin, there are ways to save money: either book a place in a hostel (starting from 9 EUR), or stay further away from the city center (hotels on the outskirts will cost around 35-40 EUR on average), or visit the city in February, March, or April.
Cost of meals in Berlin
Food in Berlin is diverse and generally affordable. If you're planning a budget trip for two in Berlin, you can eat on the streets - for example, what's wrong with a grilled sausage for 2-3 EUR or a kebab for 4 EUR? For dining in cafes and inexpensive restaurants (excluding drinks), be prepared to spend around 20-30 EUR. If you buy groceries from supermarkets and cook your own meals, you can live on 50 EUR per week.
The most unpredictable expenses during your vacation in Berlin are shopping and entertainment. For example, museum admission costs range from 7 to 22 EUR. You can save money by purchasing the Berlin WelcomeCard (for 2, 3, or 5 days) - it grants free public transportation and a 50% discount on tickets to 150 Berlin museums. The card costs 19, 25, and 35 EUR respectively.
