Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Relying only on private taxis for transport instead of learning the shared taxi system (typically 3-5x more expensive)
Eating exclusively in tourist areas near major sites (usually 100-200% markup over local neighborhoods)
Not carrying enough cash as many establishments don't accept cards (leading to expensive currency exchange fees)
Booking last-minute accommodation during peak season (typically 50-100% higher rates)
