Through all the countries I have been, I have never felt uncomfortable. Of course, theere were some stares at times but nobody was rude and I felt more comfortable there than in many parts of North America.
The only experience I felt targeted was in Barcelona when I decided to party with fellow tourists.
I went to Jamboree and the bouncer asked me if I had an invitation. I replied to him that the majority of people inside are tourists, they obviously dont'have invitations as well. All that exchange happened in Spanish on a Tuesday night, so I doubt the club was full to capacity.
I didn't feel the need to make him realise that I was a North American tourist and I decided to leave. I was not about to spend my money at a place where I was not welcomed.
In Munich clubs, people would come up to me and ask me where I was from. I'd answer politiely and it didn't bother me.
