Scams are uncommon, but travelers should be cautious when using unofficial taxi services or accepting help from strangers offering unsolicited assistance. Overall, maintaining standard safety precautions ensures a secure visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
