Has anyone been to General Discussion recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

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

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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