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 last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

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

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
