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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
De Wallen — still the best area in Netherlands?

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
