Currency: The official currency is the Trinidad and Tobago Dollar (TTD). Although US dollars are accepted in many tourist places, it is advisable to have local currency for small businesses and street food. ATMs are widely available.

Transport: 'Maxis' (shared minibuses) are the most popular and cheapest public transport to get around the islands. Taxis are available but it is advisable to agree on the price before the trip. To travel between Trinidad and Tobago, there are short 20-minute flights or ferry from Trinidad And Tobago Port to Scarborough.

Language: English is the official language, but it is spoken with a distinctive Caribbean accent. You also hear a lot of Trinidadian Creole and Patois, especially in informal conversations. Hindi and Spanish are also spoken in some areas due to the country's ethnic diversity.

Tips: Tipping is a common and appreciated practice. In restaurants, they usually leave between 10-15% if the service has been good. It is common for taxi drivers to round up the fare. In hotels, a small tip for housekeeping and bell staff is appropriate.
