Practical tips for Trinidad and Tobago
- The Trinidad and Tobago Dollar (TTD) is the official currency; always keep cash on hand since street food stalls, maxi-taxis, and beach vendors rarely accept credit cards.
- Get around cheaply using color-coded 'maxi-taxis' (minibuses) or route taxis, but agree on private taxi fares before setting off as cabs are not metered.
- It is strictly illegal for civilians to wear camouflage clothing or carry camouflage accessories anywhere in Trinidad and Tobago.
