Has anyone been to Venezuela recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Venezuela?

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

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

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
