Our hotel had a fantastic breakfast buffet, which we took advantage of to save on meals. We had some nice restaurant meals, but we also found some affordable options. The metro is extremely affordable and a convenient way to get around the city and taxis are also quite cheap. Overall, we managed to stay within our budget, but it was a close call.
