Been thinking about visiting Scandinavia and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
