Planning my first trip to Scandinavia in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.

My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?

I'm coming from the US and have experience in a few different countries but this would be my first time in Scandinavia.

Thanks for any help!

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in January and prices were great value.

Spent about $129/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?
