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 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.
