Money from home

Personal comments

It's better to take as more money as you can with you from your country and when you arrive there to open a bank account because if you choose to take money from the cash machine with your visa you pay a lot of taxes every single time.Public transportation is really good and it worths to take a card for 3 months than buing a ticket every time use use them.
