Are you a seasoned traveler? Do you love visiting new places? Here are some must-dos’ for you to consider when you are in strange lands…
NO PAYMENTS ALL THE TIME
Some cities can be very expensive, and it would do you good to keep a look out for those attractions that are free. There could be museums, parks and other places of tourist interest that do not charge a hefty fee. Some ongoing festivals and events could be free too. Keep an eye out for these.
DO NOT CALL FOR A CAB
Moving around in a cab or taxi could prove to be very costly. Enquire at your hotel about the kinds of public transport available and try fitting in your travel plans into a schedule. Also, never take a taxi from the airport to your destination – instead ask for details of shuttle services or bus services. They will be cheaper.
MAKE BOOKINGS IN ADVANCE
Always look up venues for events in advance – shows usually sell out and eating places will be barred to you because you did not make reservations in advance. So it always pays to plan your events so that you do not face problems later. Many publications are available these days mentioning the places of interests and future events of a particular city.
TAKE A MAP ALONG
Never forget to take a map along – map-carrying is a tradition with travelers and even in today’s age of i-pods and smart phones they still work! Familiarize yourself with your surroundings and always get back to the map if you feel you are lost.
