Quick question for the Cologne regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

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

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $63/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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