Cologne trip report — 14 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Had a driver arranged. Hotel was basic but good location.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Found the local spots quickly.
Days 3-14: Had some incredible sessions. Found my rhythm. The local area away from tourists area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $100-200 for premium. Some room to negotiate.
Tips: Book hotels close to the scene.
Return? Absolutely — already planning next trip.

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

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.
My tip: Book hotels close to the scene.
