Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local markets and street stalls instead of tourist restaurants (typically 60-80% cheaper)
Use zemidjan motorcycle taxis for short distances instead of private taxis (usually 70% less expensive)
Stay in neighborhoods away from the main tourist areas for accommodation savings of 30-50%
Visit during the rainy season (May-October) when accommodation prices drop by 20-40%
Buy fresh produce from local markets and prepare simple meals when possible
Walk or rent a bicycle for exploring the compact city center instead of taking taxis everywhere
Join group tours rather than private tours to split costs (typically 40-60% savings per person)
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taking private taxis for every journey instead of using shared transport options (can triple transportation costs)
Eating exclusively in hotel restaurants or tourist-focused establishments (typically 100-200% markup over local prices)
Not negotiating prices for activities and transport, especially for longer journeys or multi-day arrangements
Visiting only during peak dry season without considering shoulder season savings (missing 25-40% potential savings)
