Don’t worry though, there are always translation services you can hire to ensure that your event runs smoothly.
If you prefer using public transportation, the metro and Metrobus are good options to get around the city. You can also use apps like Uber and Didi to rent a taxi or walk to your destination if you are close enough.

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in restaurants, hotels, larger stores, and tourist areas, with Visa and Mastercard being the most common. Contactless payments through cards or mobile apps are also becoming increasingly popular
For larger transactions or business-related payments, bank transfers are commonly used. It's best to avoid traveller's checks, as they are less commonly accepted.
