Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Workable with cars and a plan; the Historic Centre morning is the anchor. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- Street-hailed taxis with no meter: agree the fare first or, better, use a ride-hail app or a hotel-booked driver. (Scams)
- A driver approaching you inside the airport hall: use the app pickup point or the official taxi counter and agree the fare before you go. (Scams)
- Card skimming or a friendly stranger at an ATM: use machines inside banks or malls in daylight and cover the keypad. (Scams)
