Has anyone been to Germany recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out

I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Planning to go back next month.

Cheers

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

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

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
