Dry season from December to April is ideal. Temperature is comfortable (around 28°C), little rain. Avoid May-October — rainy season with daily afternoon downpours.
The Teleférico cable car is safe and operates daily. At the top (2200m) it's cool — bring a jacket. Hiking trails are safe only in groups with a guide, especially the Sabas Nieves route. Don't go alone.
USD cash is the main currency for tourists. Accepted everywhere. Bolivars (VES) devalue quickly. Visa/Mastercard work in major establishments, but exchange rate is unfavorable. Exchange money at official bureaus or hotels.
Airport is 30 km from center. Official taxi $40-60 (buy voucher inside terminal). Buses are cheaper ($2-3) but slower. Journey takes 45-90 minutes depending on traffic. Uber/DiDi work but not in arrival zone.
Morning: cable car to Avila (city views). Midday: historic center — Capitol, Plaza Bolivar, Cathedral. Afternoon: Museum of Contemporary Art or stroll through El Hatillo. Evening: dinner in Las Mercedes.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Caracas
Always carry a copy of your passport, keep the original in the hotel safe.
Download offline maps — mobile internet is unstable and expensive.
At the top of Avila temperature is 10°C lower than in the city — bring warm clothes.
Drink only bottled water. Avoid ice in drinks outside tourist areas.
Try arepas — corn flatbreads with filling, Venezuela's national dish.
