It is advisable to stay vigilant in busy spots and avoid displaying valuables openly. Scams are relatively rare, but travelers should be wary of unofficial guides offering overpriced tours or services. Using authorized transportation and verified ticket sellers helps ensure a safe experience.
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.
