Cash is king, credit cards are rarely accepted. Local minibuses ("tap-tap") are the primary means of public transport, but be sure to settle the fare before your trip.

Safety Warnings
Avoid walking alone after dark, especially in central markets and isolated beaches. Watch out for petty theft and keep valuables secure. Use only authorized taxis or arrange rides in advance when possible.
Hidden Gems
Visit the beachfront near Lazile for a quieter escape, or explore the rural paths in Source-Matheux for sightings of natural springs and panoramic mountain views.
