How's the daytime scene there compared to Germany?

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
