Best areas in Munich? Planning my first trip

Planning my first trip to Munich. 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 Canada with experience in Latin America but first time in Munich.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Been going for years. Scene has gotten busier.

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

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Quick question — how was the transport?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: go early evening.

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
