Taxis

Taxis are available everywhere at the taxi stations. It is not customary to hail a taxi in the street and it is not obliged to stop.

Most taxis accept major credit cards. Taxi drivers are honest (exceptions apply, just like everywhere) and will not forget to put the meter on. They usually take the fastest path, which may not be the shortest one. A 10% tip is usual, but not mandatory.
