Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

This matches my experience. Switzerland is a solid destination.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

How long did it take you to get the lay of the land?

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

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
