Planning my first trip to Munich in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from the US and have experience in Latin America but this would be my first time in Munich.
Thanks for any help!

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $84/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
