Common scams include overpriced taxi rides without meters, street vendors selling fake tickets or souvenirs, and distraction techniques used by thieves. It's advisable to use official taxis or ride-hailing apps, keep valuables secure, and be wary of strangers offering unsolicited help.
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.
