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.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

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