Has anyone been to Photo Gallery recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
