Quick question for the Scandinavia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Scandinavia — overrated?

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $149/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?
