Taxi scams can occur, so it’s advisable to use licensed cabs or reputable ride-hailing apps. Be wary of unofficial street vendors offering overpriced or counterfeit tickets for attractions. Additionally, travelers should avoid unlicensed bike rentals and always secure personal belongings when exploring the city.
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.
