Safe and reliable transport
Hydration and basic food
Souvenirs only if budget remains

Budget Control Methods

Set a daily cap before leaving your hotel.
Separate must spend from nice to have.
Keep one emergency reserve for transport changes.

Quick Cost Risk Table

Budget Micro-Checklist

Closing Advice

Cheap is not always efficient. Smart spending is better than low spending when it protects safety and comfort.
