After the alleged recent terrorism-related attack in Berlin, British officials are now suggesting the tourists to extremely wary with their trips. Those who plan not to cancel their trips or have already reached the place are to avoid the area as much as possible.

Mirror recently reported about the Foreign Office getting ahead with the travel advice. Future tourist trips to Berlin are highly discouraged after the recent incident of a truck savagely plowing the streets, killing 12 people in the process.

According to the Foreign Office, the local authorities have already made all the necessary steps in increasing the security in the city to avoid further incidents this holiday season onward. There had been a significant amount of increase in the security with public establishments city-wide.

As reported by Telegraph, the city official police twitter page advises tourists and local citizens to stay indoors as much as possible. They have also asked social media users to avoid spreading inaccurate news or rumors while using the photos of the said event.

At the time of the writing, a number of suspects are already arrested, though they strongly deny their involvement with the offense. The local authorities are still under the assumption of the suspects being still at large and might be waiting for another chance to pull off an attack.

The best course of action to avoid any potential danger of terrorism for tourists is by canceling scheduled trips or making arrangements for an early return. However, such provisions require extra fees, which is well worth the trouble given the situation in Berlin.

It is also worth noting that travel insurances aren't usually covered with the event that causes such unforeseen problems. This particularly includes terrorist attacks, which have exclusive costs.

The recent events in Berlin have also pushed Met Police in the UK to increase its security, posting hundreds of police and SAS troops on patrol for any suspicious events. This is to ensure the protection of entire London for the entire holiday duration.
