Has anyone been to Germany recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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