Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Taxi drivers who refuse the meter at the station or airport: use a booked car or a taxi with the tariff sticker. (Scams)
- Restaurants on the river that add a cover charge or charge for bread: read the menu before you sit. (Scams)
- Petty overcharging for a bill in a bar: check the itemised bill. (Scams)
