Quick question for the Scandinavia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Budget trip to Scandinavia

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Been going for years. The scene has stayed consistent.

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

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

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at online?

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