Quick question for the General Information regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard new venues have opened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

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

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

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