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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Planning to go back next month.

Cheers

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

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

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

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

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

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

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

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
