Returned from 14 days in Munich. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $25/night. Clean and central.
Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were great value.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 7 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Street food was a highlight.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 7.5/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.
Returning to Munich after 3 years — what's different?

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
