Bicycle theft is also common, so securing bikes properly is advised. Be wary of unofficial taxi services and always use licensed providers. Scams involving fake charity collectors or street sellers may occur, so it’s best to decline unsolicited offers.
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.
