Bring a mix of denominations—$1, $5, $10, and $20 bills are most useful for daily transactions. Larger denominations ($50, $100) can be difficult to break at smaller establishments. All bills should be clean and undamaged, as worn or marked currency may be refused.
Your daily cash needs depend on your style of travel. Those staying in luxury hotels with inclusive meals may need $30-50 daily for incidentals and tips. Travelers planning to shop at markets or dine at local restaurants may want $50-100 daily. Keep larger sums in your hotel safe rather than carrying everything with you.
