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 the US and have experience in a few different countries but this would be my first time in Munich.
Thanks for any help!

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
