Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) or early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) on weekdays to avoid the worst of the morning and evening rush hours. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but major roads can still be busy. Avoid traveling very late at night if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during daylight hours, travelers should be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates, especially when traveling late at night or in less crowded public transport. Pickpocketing is also common in crowded bus stops and markets. Always be alert.
