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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

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

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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