Avoid accepting unsolicited help or offers from strangers, as scams involving overcharging for transportation or tours are common. Be wary of unofficial taxi drivers and always use licensed services. Additionally, keep an eye on belongings in busy spots to prevent theft. Staying alert and using trusted transportation options can help ensure a safer 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.
