Planning my first trip to Germany. 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 the Philippines?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from Australia with experience in a few different countries but first time in Germany.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

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

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
