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

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

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
