bank charges

Arrival at the hotel

Make arrangements to get to the hotel from the airport early. While you may not be aware of the cost and fair price of a taxi from the airport, make sure you have less expensive alternatives such as the train or bus, so it is best to know all this before the trip.

mobile

Sending a few text messages, browsing maps, a few emails and certain social media updates can cost you money and stretch your budget, even if you buy special roaming deals, as your data usually disappears quickly.

being robbed
