Quick question for the Scandinavia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

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

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
