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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
