Preparing your trip to Brest: advices & hints - things to do and to obey

2. The local people are very hospitable, so if someone invites you to visit their house, you simply cannot refuse. A refusal may seriously hurt gracious hosts.
3. Do not forget to pay attention on your belongings in public places. There is a risk of becoming a victim of pickpockets in shopping centers, railway stations and markets. Tourists also should not leave coats and bags unattended at restaurants and cafes.
4. Visitors of restaurants should keep in mind that a dinner chosen from a card will be a bit more expensive than a dinner chosen from a standard dinner menu. Do not forget to leave tips in restaurants and cafes of the city. The size of tips usually varies from 10 to 15% of the total bill. In some dining facilities service charges may be already included in the bill.
6. Visitors of bars should not forget that the price of an order depends not only on the choice of dishes, but also on your location. Budget tourists are recommended to have meals at the bar, because the cost of a dinner in the hall will be higher. This rule applies to restaurants that have an outdoor terrace. A dinner in the open air will cost visitors approximately 20% higher than the same dinner in the main hall.
7. Food is better to be purchased in remote areas of the city. The cost of food in supermarkets in the central part of the city is much higher.

9. Tourists who expect to use public transport are recommended to buy several tickets at the same time in box offices. This will help to save money. Only several bus routes follow a strict schedule, while the others just cruise along the route.
10. Taxi is better to be called by phone, or found in special stands. Catching a free car in the street of the city is quite difficult.
