Planning my first trip to General Information. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Germany?
5. Best time of day to go out?

Coming from the UK with experience in Latin America but first time in General Information.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
