Do not leave your belongings unattended at restaurants and cafes, and do not put valuable items to your pocket – you may become a victim of pickpockets who work in shopping malls and public transport.
4. Fans of luxury can choose to live not only in posh hotels, but also in the so-called "pousadas" - ancient castles. Many of them are equipped with beautiful guestrooms. Staying in such historic buildings is very prestigious, so wealthy travelers never miss such opportunity. Because the number of such "historic suites" quite a bit, they should be booked in advance.
