Travelling

For all Asians,travel in Europe is although costly but very satisfying and organised. Absence of crowd in trains and buses pleasantly surprises. To keep it that way:

Plan your travel in advance- you get financially better deals as well as confirmed accommodation.

Use computer for bookings-you get cheaper and better deals.

Be careful in giving your Credit/Debit Card details.

Carry with you own reading material, drinks and snacks. It is cheaper and convenient.
All places are well marked, however do not hesitate to ask road/rail employees, if needed. Follow instructions and timings.

Travel light and keep your luggage at appointed place in train/Buses. Generally travel is safe, however it is better if you take a travel insurance in advance
Carry only required cash and take care. Some local journeys by Underground/Metro can be quite unpredictable. Pickpockets are universal '

Public transport is always reliable and economical and should be preferred. Do not think of the taxi as a status symbol. Although it can be convenient at some time and place when public transport is not easily available.
