Has anyone been to Netherlands 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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

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

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