Quick question for the Cologne regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

This is outdated info IMO.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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $111/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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