Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local canteens and cafeterias instead of tourist-oriented restaurants (typically 60-80% cheaper)
Use public transportation exclusively instead of taxis (saves 70-85% on transport costs)
Shop at local markets and supermarkets for snacks and drinks (50-70% less than tourist areas)
Book accommodation well in advance or look for properties slightly outside city center (20-40% savings)
Take advantage of free walking tours and public parks instead of paid guided tours
Visit museums on designated free days or purchase city tourist cards for bundled savings
Exchange money at banks rather than airport or hotel exchanges (typically 3-8% better rates)
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Relying solely on taxis and ride-sharing instead of learning the public transport system (increases daily costs by 200-400%)
Eating exclusively in tourist areas near major attractions (typically 100-150% markup over local prices)
Not researching free activities and always opting for paid tours (can double your daily activity budget)
Exchanging money at airports or hotels instead of local banks (loses 5-10% to poor exchange rates)
