Are you going on holiday abroad? In order not to have problems, you must be well informed.. Here are 12 helpful travel tips for a hassle-free vacation.
- Book tickets in advance. Hotels and travel agencies have different rates, depending on the period. If you are in high season, you will pay more than in the rest of the year. A reservation made out of season or well in advance can bring you a cheaper offer by up to 30%.
- Look for area attractions. The agencies provide customers with complete brochures for any tourist destination on offer. You can learn about the restaurants in the area you go to, about bars, clubs, museums, hotels and other attractions.
- Use the Internet as much as possible and solve as much as possible from home: appointments at museums, study cities, access roads, read opinions, find out the recommendations and "prohibitions" of those who have already traveled to those areas.
- Make a note of the telephone numbers of the emergency services in the area and don't forget to write down the embassy's contact details or consulate.
- Activate your roaming in advance, find out the conditions and tariffs and create all the conditions to keep in touch with those in the country.
- Your smartphone can be a good friend when traveling while on vacation. Basic functionality will allow you to access itineraries via email or the airline's website directly from your mobile phone. You can also use smartphones as a way to search for various information.
- Not all Wi-Fi networks are good. There are a lot of free wi-fi networks that are created in order to find out your username and password. Pay attention to the networks you choose before you start entering private information.
- Get health insurance and vaccines. Health insurance and vaccines are the most important details when you go on holiday. It is good to make sure that you are protected against local diseases. If necessary, get vaccinated, buy the recommended pills, and take out health insurance.
- Find out about the weather. Weather is very crucial for the success of a holiday. Find out about temperatures and rainfall. Sometimes the differences between day and night can be very large in some areas. This will help you to create the right wardrobe for your trip.
- Pack clothes for all-season temperatures, clothes and sun, and rain. Often the temperature differences between day and evening are large.
- Find out in advance what the official exchange rate is and how you can change the money once you arrive at your chosen destination. Find out if it is advisable to pay in dollars or in the national currency, where you find ATMs and the local costs.
- Pay attention to the local specifics! Every country has its own culture, and we can often be surprised by the differences between the country where we spend our vacation and the one we come from. It is good to inform yourself what gestures to avoid making, as they are considered offensive. In fact, it is important to know whether in the country the restaurant is tipped or not, what are the greetings and thanks, what the etiquette is for visiting historical or spiritual buildings. Also, find out if the resort you go to smokes on the street or not, what type of electricity and what sockets are used, so as not to have any of the most unpleasant surprises.
