As far as I know the test is free, but there is some debate in Berlin now about starting to charge it, so this might change in the future.

Since yesterday evening Paris (and the whole of Île-de-France) joined the red list of the Robert-Koch Institut, so even if you came from here you'd have to get tested.

Okay, thanks for the info. I wonder if the test is free in TXL for tourists or if indeed there will be a charge. Will need to see.

What are the controls and checks like upon arrival? If coming from a place deemed high risk?
