⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Only use the official taxi rank outside Terminal 1 Arrivals; ignore touts inside the Arrivals hall who may not use the fixed fare.
  • Ask the taxi driver 'fixed fare?' before departing and check for the accredited fixed-fare sign; non-accredited taxis use the meter and can cost more.
  • Buy Metro tickets only from official machines or the Metro office; don't accept 'help' from strangers at the machines.
  • City buses are not suitable for large suitcases; if you have more than a small cabin bag, use a taxi, private transfer or the Metro outside rush hours.
