Has anyone been to Tips & Advice recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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.
