The best time depends on the region and what you want to do (beaches, hiking, festivals). Check typical weather patterns for your specific route, then plan accommodation early if you’re travelling during peak season.

For a first trip, 7–10 days usually covers one main area plus a few day trips. If you want multiple regions, plan 10–14+ days so you’re not spending your whole holiday in transit.

Have travel insurance, an offline map, and a backup payment method. Keep digital copies of your passport and bookings. Save local emergency numbers and your accommodation details before you arrive. If you’ll be moving around, book your first night ahead so you can land, rest, and get oriented.

Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and can change—always verify with official government sources before you travel. If you’re unsure, check the official embassy/consulate guidance for your passport country, and confirm your allowed length of stay.

It depends on your style. Costs are driven by accommodation type, internal flights, and tours. You can keep things low by using local transport, eating where locals eat, and booking stays with kitchens or breakfast included.

Carry a small amount of cash for tips, markets, and small vendors, but avoid holding too much. Use ATMs in well-lit, secure places and keep your card locked via your banking app when not in use.

A mix works best: a fee-free travel card for card payments and ATM withdrawals, plus some cash for small purchases. Check what’s common in the areas you’re visiting (cities vs rural).

For cities: public transport and walking are often easiest. Between regions: trains, buses, and short flights can save time. If you’re tight on days, prioritise fewer places and spend longer in each.

Generally yes, with common-sense checks: confirm the driver/plate, share your trip, and avoid unmetered “special deals.” For taxis, ask for the meter or agree the fare upfront in writing.

Most trips are trouble-free. Keep valuables secure, avoid flashing expensive items, and stay alert in crowded areas. At night, stick to well-lit streets and reputable transport.

Health advice depends on where you’ll go and your personal situation. Check official travel health guidance for your country and speak to a clinician if you have questions. Bring any regular prescriptions plus a basic travel pharmacy.

Plug types can vary—double-check before you pack adapters. If you’re travelling with multiple devices, a compact multi-port charger plus one good adapter is usually easier than many plugs.

Learn a few polite phrases, dress appropriately in religious or rural areas, and always ask before photographing people. When unsure, observe locals and follow their lead.

Tipping customs vary by region and venue. A good rule: tip when service is genuinely helpful, and follow local norms (or what’s listed on menus/receipts).
