Getting Around
Uber works, but yellow taxis are common for short hops. For big museums or El Hatillo, grab a taxi from main hotels. Use trip.com for easy city hotel bookings!

Food & Essentials
Try cachapas (corn pancakes) and fresh papaya juice at local bakeries. Bring small bolívars notes for cash purchases, and expect tropical heat—hydrate often!
