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 in 2024 and had a good 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.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
