Before you go
What the guide flags for first-timers.
- Street helpers offering to “guard” a car or show a shortcut expect a tip: a small note is normal, more is not. (Scams)
- Unofficial taxis with no meter: agree the fare or use your hotel’s radio taxi. (Scams)
- Fake “charity” or craft-donation requests near the mall: decline politely. (Scams)
