Has anyone been to Tips & Advice 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 good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

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

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
