at a glance

arriving visitors should be in-the-know of information regarding how to get to their accommodation or what transportation to use once arriving to the marvelous city, such as taxis and executive buses - taxis are the easiest and common way to get to one's home or hotel, seeing as a specific address can be given and further actions are not required.

hailing a cab from the airport is quite simple, considering the airport typically has a designated company with lined-up drivers waiting for incoming passengers to be taken to their destination - payments can be previously made directly with the company, which offers a pre-determined price.

visitors should only use the yellow taxis parked in a line outside the gate, and should never accept rides from unmarked, seeing as one becomes subject of being overcharged - it is important to make sure the meter is running, even in legitimate taxis - it is illegal for taxi drivers not to turn on their meters - for more information on safety suggestions with taxis, visit our taxi section here.  arrow-back      arrow-forward
