Planning my first trip to General Information. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Czech Republic?
5. Uber or taxi?
Coming from the US with experience in a few different countries but first time in General Information.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
