Are travelers cheques a good idea?
Probably not. There are accesible banks that will give you cash for your cheques, although they close for weekends. Some establishments will also accept traveler’s cheques, but not all, so don’t rely on it. If you’re going to be coming specifically only for the weekend, it might be a better idea to just bring a little cash in a safe place, as you won’t need that much after you’ve paid your transportation and lodging expenses.
