Has anyone been to Safety & Police recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
