Mine Mercado Público-sse hommikul vara hommikueinele, võta väikseid rahatähti. Mõned putkad lähevad hõivatud ja mõned aktsepteerivad ainult sularaha.
Translated from English ·
Mõnus kunstielu ja jalutuskäigud jõe ääres, aga mõned linnaosad tundusid pimedas mahajäetuna. Kaks kuni kolm päeva olid mulle piisavad.
Translated from English ·
Mercado Público on elav ja soodne suupisteteks, kuid lõunaajal üsna rahvarohke. Mulle meeldisid lähedal olevad väikesed kohvikud ja inimeste vaatamine.
Translated from English ·
Osta jaamast laaditav bussivõi metrookaart, see säästab raha korduvate sõitude puhul ja kiirendab sisenemist võrreldes üksikpiletitega.
Translated from English ·
Pole nii kallis kui Rio, aga mõnes turismikohas tõstetakse hindu. Võta sularaha väikestele müüjatele, restoranides toimivad kaardid.
