How to Hail A Taxi Around the World

Sydney, Australia

According to the T+L guide, cabs can be hailed on the street in Sydney, but T+L recommends navigating the city by foot for the best scenery. If your feet are too tired from tromping between the city’s Central Business District and Darlinghurst—or you want to head out to Bondi Beach—there are also taxi ranks around the city, according to Sydney’s website.

Barcelona, Spain

If navigating Barcelona’s Metro sounds daunting, grab one of the many cabs that circle the streets. Simply look for a taxi stand and wait in line until a cab is available or hail an empty cab on the street by waving your hand in the air and signaling your interest, ideally with a churro in your hand (just kidding—kind of).
