Getting Around Once You Land
A little research before you arrive makes local transport one less thing to figure out on day one.
Research public transport
Look up metro, train or bus options and whether a travel card is worth it.
Sort connectivity early
An eSIM or local SIM keeps maps, translation and ride-share apps working from arrival.
Download offline maps
Save your destination’s map for when data or signal is patchy.
Carry small local currency
