Whenever we plan a trip, we worry about one question: will we encounter the phenomenon of ripping off customers? Whether it's a taxi, a restaurant, or an attraction, tourists will inevitably feel "trapped" in some places. I'm really scared. So to share with you, I personally think that the relatively "non-slaughtering" are ten tourist cities, if you disagree, it doesn't matter, everyone's experience is different.
1. Japan· Kyoto Kyoto attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique cultural atmosphere and exquisite historical sites. Businesses here operate with integrity and transparent prices, so visitors can enjoy the same prices as locals, whether it's buying handicrafts, dining at local restaurants, or experiencing traditional cultural activities. And I found that the prices of many shopping malls and restaurants in Japan are similar to the prices of street shops, so the prices are not too different.
2. Portugal· Porto Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and is famous for its wines. Prices are relatively affordable, especially for food and accommodation, and not only do they not rip off customers, but businesses often offer visitors the opportunity to taste local wine for free. Porto's residents are simple and welcoming, love to mingle with tourists and make them feel welcome.
3. Malaysia· Penang I love it so much, it's like coming back to Guangdong. Penang is known for its diverse culture and cuisine and is known as a "foodie paradise". The street food here is reasonably priced and varied, and visitors can enjoy an authentic culinary experience, whether dining at a roadside stall or restaurant.
4. Chiang Mai Thailand· Unlike big cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai has won the hearts of many tourists with its serene and comfortable atmosphere. Prices are fair, especially the handicrafts and food at the night market, and the prices are transparent, so there is no "sitting on the floor" for tourists. The people in Chiang Mai are friendly, welcoming, helpful and a great place to relax.
5. Prague, Czech Republic · Prague is one of Europe's most historic cities, and although it attracts a large number of tourists every year, the level of local spending has not increased. Whether admiring the beautiful architecture or relaxing in one of the cafes of the Old Town, visitors can enjoy the same prices as the locals without feeling slaughtered.
6. Spain· Seville Many people say that there are many thieves in Europe, but in fact, it is okay to stay away from some popular tourist cities. Seville is full of Spain, and the city is not only beautiful, but also relatively cheap. The locals are hospitable, and the street food stalls and traditional restaurants are reasonably priced, allowing visitors to indulge in food without feeling stressed or uneasy.
7. Viet Nam· Ho Chi Minh City Ho Chi Minh City, as the economic center of the Viet Nam, has kept prices at a reasonable level. Whether it's shopping, eating, or taking transportation, prices are transparent. Street food and markets have fixed prices and don't deliberately raise them just because you're a tourist, making it easy for you to enjoy food and shopping.
8. Chengdu, ·, China As a famous food capital in China, Chengdu is not only rich in food but also reasonably priced. Food stalls, hot pot restaurants, etc., are priced equally for both locals and tourists. Coupled with the optimistic and easy-going character of Chengdu people, the experience during travel always makes people feel warm and caring.
9. Greece· Thessaloniki Thessaloniki is an ancient city in the north of Greece with beautiful scenery and a rich history. Although it is a tourist destination, the price is affordable, and tourists can enjoy the food and scenery of Greece with confidence. Whether it's accommodation or dining, the locals are honest and trustworthy and don't ask tourists for exorbitant prices.
10. Australia· Melbourne Melbourne, as the cultural hub of the Australia, has a high level of honesty among its merchants, although the level of consumption is medium among large cities. Tourism is thriving here, but tourists enjoy transparent pricing just like locals. Whether it's dining at a restaurant or buying souvenirs for a tour, you won't encounter malicious price increases.
Okay, after sharing, I hope there is a city you like, and if you don't agree, don't spray~
