Has anyone been to General Information 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 in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

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