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
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers
Avoid Utrecht? Or is it fine?

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.
