Violent crime rates are a real concern, especially in certain areas, and tourists should stay alert in crowded spots and on the beach. The main risks for visitors are opportunistic theft, overpriced or rigged taxis, and money-related traps, so use official transport and keep valuables minimal.

3. Unlicensed airport drivers

Kako deluje: Drivers without official markings approach travelers inside or just outside the terminal with flat 'special' prices well above the meter rate. Some claim the official rank is closed or far away.

Kako se izogniti: Walk past unsolicited offers and use only the official taxi rank at the terminal exit. Uber and 99 through their apps are also reliable.

4. Poor-rate exchange kiosks

Kako deluje: Exchange booths in tourist areas advertise eye-catching rates but add large commissions, effective spreads, or minimum fees, leaving you well below the market rate. Some are street changers with fake notes.

Kako se izogniti: Use bank ATMs for cash and decline conversion at the terminal. Compare the effective rate including fees before exchanging.

5. Inflated or double-charged bills

Kako deluje: Some restaurants in tourist zones add extra items, round up totals, or present a bill with an odd service line. Bills can be handwritten and hard to verify, especially in busy venues.

Kako se izogniti: Check every line of the bill, confirm the total and whether serviço is included before paying. Question any item you did not order.
