Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Been going for years. The scene has stayed consistent.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.
