Local Tips

Carry cash, as card payments aren't accepted everywhere. Negotiate taxi fares before your ride, and be cautious with valuables in crowded places.

Tipping 5-10% is appreciated but not mandatory. Dress modestly in residential or religious areas. Greetings are important; a handshake with a smile goes a long way.

Safety Warnings

Be vigilant against pickpocketing, especially in markets and public transport. Avoid walking alone at night, especially in less touristy or poorly lit areas like Malanga, and use registered taxis.

Visit the Jardim Tunduru Botanical Gardens, hunt for murals in the city's alleyways, or explore the lesser-known fish market on Avenida Marginal for an authentic seafood experience.
