Has anyone been to Netherlands 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 in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
