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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
