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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $94/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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