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 Germany?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

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