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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $129/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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