Life comes back – Restaurants, Theaters, Cinemas, Fitness Studios reopen – with rules and restrictions!
In consideration of decreased Corona numbers, the restrictions will be significantly relaxed. Inside, six people from three households are now allowed to meet; outside, ten people from five households. Children under 14 are not counted.
Shopping as well as having a drink or a meal in restaurants and pubs outside is now possible without a Corona test.
People limits for events and private parties are increased. Up to 100 people are allowed inside. Alcohol may be sold until midnight, an hour longer than last. Indoor restaurants also now open, but tests are required there.
If Corona numbers continue to fall, testing requirements will be dropped here as well. Many operators were now still bringing back staff from short-time work or even hiring people again.
From June 11th, tourists will again be allowed to come to the city and stay in hotels. At this date AirBnB and similar are to be allowed again.
The Senate is also responding to the fact that more and more people are vaccinated. 43.3 percent have received the first vaccination, and 19 percent are fully vaccinated. However, the pandemic has not yet been defeated, it said. The principle must apply: Out is better than in.
However, cinemas, theaters, opera houses and concert halls can now reopen with mandatory testing and a hygiene concept. Outdoor sports without number restrictions are also possible again, provided participants can present negative Corona tests. Fitness, sports and dance studios open with appointment and mandatory testing.
CleverShuttle informed:
Unfortunately we have to inform you that CleverShuttle is no longer available in Berlin as of today.
The decision was not easy for us, but under the current circumstances an economical operation is not possible. We would like to thank you and hope to see you again sometime.
Operations in Düsseldorf, Kiel and Leipzig will continue normally. So if you still have credit, you can of course use it for trips to these locations.
Get 50% discount on your trips from now on until 23 June (max. 10 € discount per trip). The best thing about it: the discount is granted automatically in the Uber App and you don’t have to enter a promo code.
The worst you can do when you arrive in Berlin Willy Brandt airport is, to take a taxi. The majorities of cabbies waiting at the airport is questionable. I have had out of a 100 transports ZERO at correct prices / shortest way. Some are just driving a small deviation, others bigger. All like to cheat you with the luggage (no, it is included) and many don’t know even where to go. Always ugly discussions. Often the cars are dirty too. Not recommendable.
