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

National Gallery of Australia Canberra 1. Tips are not officially accepted in local restaurants and cafes. Only luxury dining facilities can include tips in the total amount of the bill. As a rule, the size of tips is not more than 10% of the total order. If you want to, you can round off the due sum in a big way to any convenient amount. Your reward will be accepted with gratitude.
2. Power supply voltage is 240 - 250V, so travellers are recommended to get all necessary adapters and connectors in advance. You can also buy them after your arrival in any electrical appliances store.
3. The period from September to December is considered the peak season as the weather is mostly very good during this time of year. Travellers, who expect to devote much time to walks around the city and enjoy a wide range of exciting outdoor activities, should not forget to provide themselves with sun protection treatments. It is also very hot at noon, so travellers are recommended to refrain from walking.
4. A large part of shops and public institutions starts working at 9 am and serves customers up to 5 - 6 pm. Friday is a short working day, and the majority of offices and shopping centers are closed on Saturday and Sunday.
5. Tourists can pay by bank transfer in major shopping centers and restaurants. Mastercard and Visa credit cards are accepted almost everywhere. Cash will be useful only to travellers who expect to go to markets and small restaurants. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. It’s better to stock up with the national currency for shopping because foreign currency is not accepted everywhere or accepted at a disadvantageous exchange rate. Money is better to be exchanged in banks as they usually offer the most favorable rates. Travellers can easily withdraw money from their plastic cards in one of numerous ATMs. It should be noted that this is a paid service, and some ATMs charge up to 15% of the withdrawal amount.
7. Travelers should not drink tap water. Despite the fact that it is thoroughly cleaned and, therefore, is not dangerous to health, tap water can significantly worsen the process of acclimatization.
8. When going to an excursion to one of nature reserves, you should definitely take a special protection from insects. Your clothes should also be as closed as possible, otherwise annoying insects can spoil even most exciting ride.
