Safety info for Venezuela:

General: More caution needed but manageable.
Watch Out: Pickpocketing in crowded bars.
Scams: Taxi broken meter scam.

Stay smart, stay safe.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Any restaurant recs for the daytime?

How does it compare to Thailand?

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $123/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
