Back from Scandinavia. Spent 7 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Mid-range hotel near the action. $34/night.
Scene: Absolutely packed — no shortage of options.
Prices: Slightly higher than expected.
Highlights: Found a hidden gem bar away from tourists.
Overall: 8/10 — solid destination.
Ask me anything.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $93/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
