Maracaibo

Maracaibo is known for being the largest oil-producing city in Venezuela, as well as its beautiful colonial architecture and vibrant nightlife.

The best time to visit Maracaibo is from December to April when the weather is dry, and the temperatures are cooler.

Some of the top tourist attractions in Maracaibo include the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá, the Maracaibo Lake, and the city's colonial center.

While Maracaibo has a higher crime rate than other cities in Venezuela, it is generally safe for tourists as long as they take the necessary precautions such as avoiding certain areas at night and being aware of their surroundings.

The currency used in Maracaibo, and in Venezuela in general, is the Bolivar.
