Been thinking about visiting Hamburg and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
