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
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Avoid Rotterdam? Or is it fine?

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

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
