Are credit cards widely accepted and safe to use locally? Are ATMs common and do you recommend using them? Are they safe to use?

Credit cards are sometimes accepted, but I usually use cash. ATMs are available. - Feb 2023


Generally not recommended to use credit cards, and most stores won't have a card reader anyway. There are a few ATMs, but they won't always have cash. - Aug 2020


Don't even think about using a credit card. Maybe at one or two hotels. Get your cash at the hotel or bank. - Apr 2014


Ha hah ahahahahhah hahah hah ha ha.. oh that's a good one *wipes tear from eye* Umm, there are none. Other than Air France, no one takes credit cards here. Even if they did, your number would be out the door before you were. - Nov 2006
