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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at the hotel?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
