How we verified this.
Where are the crowds in Berlin during the Cup?
It is an arena event, not a street one: the crowd is felt around the arenas in Friedrichshain and Prenzlauer Berg at game times, and in the hotels for the length of the tournament. There are no street closures, and the rest of the city carries on.
Our crowd forecast is an informed estimate, not a guarantee — check with the organiser and/or local authorities before you plan around it.
our forecast marks a number we worked out from published data; advice marks something we think. Never the other way round.
Named places appear here only after checking their own website; anything unverifiable is left out.
