Been thinking about visiting Cologne 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 the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
