Later this month, especially at Queima das Fitas, you will hear that “Coimbra has more charm when it comes to saying goodbye”.
Em Berlin, many tourists I do fired and the German capital is lose your charmas described by .
The capital of Germany had 34.1 million overnight stay in 2019. Six years later, fell almost 15% and stood at 29.4 million overnight stays last year.
And the majority of visitors are not even from outside the country: more than 60% of tourists are Germans.
One of the complaints: trash. “There are really many people who complain about the cleanliness, they are shocked by the dirt,” says tour guide Reinhold Steinle. There are areas in Berlin where rubbish is now an integral part of the urban landscape.
O transit is another source of complaints: “Train cancellations, cancellations of the S-Bahn (a hybrid service that combines suburban trains and metro) and overcrowded buses. This also causes frustration for many people”, describes Reinhold Steinle.
And there is another central reason for the lack of interest in Germany’s capital: culture. There has been disinvestment in the cultural sector, cuts, which lower the quality of programming.
Berlin, which in addition to being the capital of Germany was seen as the capital of techno, is now at risk of being left with fewer and fewer clubs and independent cultural spaces. There is no business, there is no income – and about half of nightclubs in Berlin you can to close shortly.
