Quick question for the Cologne regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $82/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.
