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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

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

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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

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

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

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

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

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