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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

This matches my experience. Scandinavia is great value for money.

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.
