π‘οΈ Safety
As in many destinations, wallets and phones are the favourite targets at markets, on crowded transport and around the main attractions.
How to avoid it: Keep valuables in front pockets or in a bag zipped shut in front of you; don't leave your phone on the table at cafΓ©s and bars.
The most common ones: a "broken" or rigged taxi meter, unfavourable currency exchange and unlisted prices in tourist areas.
How to avoid it: Agree the taxi fare before you get in or use ride-hailing apps; change money only at banks or official offices and always ask the price first.
π Transport
Networks are usually efficient and punctual but not cheap (city ticket ~3 β¬): look into day passes or multi-ride tickets.
Reliable but pricey: save them for short hops or late nights. Ride-hailing often costs less than a traditional taxi.
Ideal for exploring beyond the cities; rental and fuel are expensive (petrol ~1,90 β¬/L). In big cities it is often unnecessary.
Comfortable, reliable connections, typical fares around ~30 β¬: booking ahead saves you a good deal.
