Buy travel tickets for public transport only from authorized retailers. Buying online often allows you to take advantage of discounts and promotions. Use only authorized taxis with signs and identifiers. Ask the cost of the race in advance, read the rules inside the vehicle, check the costs on the taximeter.

Always ask for a receipt of payment, it is your right, check the amounts and the presence of the tax symbols.

If you visit a city, go to an information point to get directions, maps and tips. Always check opening and closing times and access conditions to museums, galleries and archaeological sites. On some holidays they can be closed, many of them allow free entry for European citizens under 18 or over 65.

Do not buy entrance tickets to archaeological sites and museums from people without identification cards and be wary of those who want to blow you up. Remember that access to open public places (squares, streets, parks, gardens, beaches and paths) is always free. Do not show valuables to strangers and get away from people and groups of people who cling to you for money or information.

Keep track of your personal effects (documents, phones, computers), preferably in a closed bag and do not entrust it to those you do not know. At the restaurant or pizzeria, always ask to see the menu with prices and remember that the table service is more expensive than the counter. Exhibitors are obliged to display menus with an indication of costs and service.
