Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls through referrals?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.
