Best areas in Photo Gallery:
Main Scene: Downtown district. Best concentration of venues. Well-lit and safe.
Alternatives: Secondary area 15 min by taxi.
Hope this helps.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

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