Practical info
Common travel traps
Cash machines and card payments
When the screen asks, always choose to be charged in the local currency. Do not accept the machine's offer to convert to your home currency (dynamic currency conversion) — it usually adds a hidden exchange markup.
Airport taxis
Never follow anyone who offers a ride inside the arrivals hall. Use the official taxi stand with a meter, or a transfer you booked in advance.
Crowded places
Pickpockets work in crowds. Keep your phone, wallet and passport in a front or zipped pocket, and wear your backpack on your chest in busy markets, squares and vehicles.
