Has anyone been to Safety & Police 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 in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
