Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory (5-10%). Dress is modest and practical. It's polite to greet shopkeepers and locals with a nod or a simple 'zdravstvuyte.'
Safety Warnings
Avoid poorly lit streets after dark, especially around the industrial area. Petty theft is rare but keep valuables secure. Be cautious near railways and factories.
