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 Southeast Asia but this would be my first time in Munich.
Thanks for any help!

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

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

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

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

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

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

Did you use the local sites or find girls at online?

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

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