Planning my first trip to Munich in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from Canada and have experience in Latin America but this would be my first time in Munich.
Thanks for any help!
Best time to visit Munich

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.
