טיפים לגבי העיר
מה כדאי לארוז?
Bring a hat, sunglasses and hair ties!
OKC is a windy and sunny place! Make sure you've got something to keep your hair out of your face and the sun out of your eyes.
התמצאות בסביבה
Travel by car or ride share!
OKC has some really walkable areas, but you'll need a car or a ride share to get there. If you're in a district that's walkable, like the Paseo or Bricktown, you'll be good to go once you're there, so make sure you wear your comfy shoes! Downtown does have a rail system that will take you around.
