  • Venezuela ↗Check your own government's travel advice first; the UK advises against all but essential travel to Venezuela and all travel to several regions, and other governments advise against all travel.
  • Venezuela ↗Entry rules depend on your passport and how you arrive (air or land); confirm with a Venezuelan embassy or consulate and your airline before booking.
  • Venezuela ↗Confirm that your travel insurance covers Venezuela before you book; many policies exclude destinations under an advisory.
  • Caracas and the central coast ↗Plan every road leg in this region for daylight: the coastal highway and the tunnels up to Caracas are the busiest and least safe after dark.
  • Caracas ↗Between clusters use a driver arranged by your hotel or a reputable operator, agreed in advance; do not hail street taxis, do not walk from one cluster to the next and do not use the Maiquetía road after dark.
  • Caracas ↗Keep phones, cameras and jewellery out of sight on the street; take only the cash you need for the morning.
