Transport of Caracas

In Caracas - a modern and inexpensive metro, which is sometimes more popular than cars: clean cars with air conditioning saved from the exhausting heat of more than one tourist. As for taxis, they are usually equipped with counters, although drivers use them very reluctantly, preferring to negotiate the fare in advance.

Shopping: shops

The Sabana-Grande street, closed to transport, is famous for its many shops, shops with souvenirs and restaurants. Along the whole street there are tables for games - Venezuelans, from small to large, adore chess and dominoes.
