Has anyone been to General Information 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 a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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