Scams involving overpriced taxi rides or unlicensed taxis can occur, so it is advisable to use official taxi services or ride-sharing apps. Additionally, travelers should remain vigilant in nightlife districts to avoid theft or scams related to drinks and personal belongings. Overall, standard urban safety precautions apply.
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.
