So I always wanted to visit Germany. My great grandparents came from Germany. I picked Berlin as my flying in city because it was the cheapest to fly into. I am looking for an affordable Germany vacation, relativity speaking. I will be buying groceries at Aldi and storing them in my hotel room to save money on restaurants.
I have not booked hotels yet because I am not sure if I want to stay in Berlin the whole 7 days, if it would be cheaper not to? or if I want to stay other places besides Berlin.
I honestly like other cities around Berlin better than Berlin itself. So I am not sure if it would be cheaper just to stay in Berlin or cheaper to spend some of the trip or all of the trip in the surrounding cities that look cheap.
Such cities would be and only if they were just as affordable or more affordable then Berlin.
Poznan, Poland
Dresden, Germany
Leipzig, Germany
Erfurt, Germany
All the cities listed above I actually think I like better than Berlin, at least from what I have seen from youtube and read about those cities. I just like what I see better in those cities than what I see in Berlin.
Problems
1) I need good public transportation in the city, I don't plan on a rental car nor can afford one.
2) I need affordable cities: At least more affordable then Munich or Hamburg, everyone says how way cheaper Berlin is then Hamburg or Munich.
3) I need a city where knowing very little to any German will be no problem. I took German in high school but forgot everything I learned.
4) My wife would be one of those really loud annoying American tourists who can't keep her mouth shut or her voice down. So I would need a city more lenient on quiet hours and quiet rules in Germany. I am the complete opposite of my wife. I have no problem being quiet, I am often picked on in the United States for never talking and being too quiet.
.... or if there are cities I didn't mention close to Berlin that would be just as affordable if not more affordable then Berlin to stay at let me know.
