Is it possible to tell which hotel is better? After all, it’s a place you’ve never visited before and usually there is no one there that you know and could ask for advice. Moreover, you are surely looking for a hotel room that will not exert much pressure on your holiday budget. So, which hotel should you choose?

How to save money on sightseeing?

  • Search for Nationally-Controlled Sights: Museums belong to one of my favorite tourist sights — a national museum combines together a wide range of exhibits that can present large parts of the country that you would never get to see in any other case. Think about the Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C. They are managed by the U.S. government, in a round about way, so you can enter the museums for free, similarly to visiting the local monuments. There are more exhibits than you can see in the average trip as well. Compare that to Mount Vernon, a popular tourist destination just outside of D.C. — there is probably a few hours of entertainment, and for an adult ticket you have to pay $13.
  • Visit a Church: A large number of churches and other religious places are regarded as great tourist sites, such as Paris’ Notre-Dame, but the entry is free. Architectural buffs, take heed: you can witness some of the best-preserved buildings simply by visiting religious sites while on your sightseeing. Cemeteries are often worth a visit, although you may not think of them at first. However, if you are really interested in some historical figure, find out where they are interred: most cemeteries have some beautiful sculpture and can be a wonderful introduction to an area’s history.

How to choose travel insurance that fits your needs?

0

It doesn’t matter if your upcoming journey is for pleasure, business or both, travel insurance is a necessity. The amount it costs to shield yourself from such disasters as lost luggage, cancellations, hotel problems, sicknesses and others is nothing compared to the money you would need to pay if you are not properly insured.

There are many ways to get insured, many credit cards provide travel insurance if you pay for a journey with their card, the majority of travel agencies and airlines will also provide you with various insurance options. However, are these enough or the best options for your journey and needs?

You are advised to shop around for travel insurance and don’t feel anxious about asking a lot of questions. In the end you are the one who is paying, and you are entitled to know exactly what is covered by the insurance and what is not. If you travel often (several times a year) then it may be sensible to buy an annual travel insurance policy instead of many individual ones.

Usually travel insurance will provide you with cover for lost luggage, delays, cancellation of travel, overseas and medical hospital expenses and some evacuation under dire situations. The most important thing to consider here is how much would medical coverage in the country you are travelling to cost? Medical expenses in the US, Japan, Middle East, some parts of Europe, South America, or Africa are really high so you really want to be sure that you have the highest level of medical coverage in your insurance. On the other hand, when you are travelling to a place like Thailand, where the costs of medical treatment are one of the lowest in the world, then you should be perfectly fine with a relatively lower amount of coverage depending on your requirements.

Tips on Booking a Hotel Room

0

When you book a hotel room you should pay attention to a couple of things. First of all, try to book a place to stay in advance. By doing so, you will be able to shop around for the best offers and, more importantly, will be sure you are going to have a roof over your head when you arrive at your journey’s destination. Going to a place without a previous reservation is only for the truly spontaneous people.

Secondly, when you make a hotel reservation, the majority of hotels require you to guarantee your reservation with a credit card, and typically charge a one-night fine if you won’t arrive without previously cancelling your stay. In order to avoid no-show penalties make sure you look at the hotel’s cancellation terms.

Travelling abroad? Buy insurance!

Here are the most important reasons to buy travel insurance before you leave for vacation:

In certain parts of the world, you are obliged to pay in cash at the medical facility at the time of treatment. These costs will be covered up by travel insurance, up to the limits of your policy of course.

If you suffer an injury or become ill in a remote location, or a place that does not provide proper treatment facilities, there may be a need to airlift you to the US or another country for treatment. Costs of emergency medical evacuations can amount to tens of thousands of dollars, and your insurance will cover this, of course within the limits set up in your policy.

As far as trip cancellation or interruption caused by death, illness or injury is concerned, travel insurance companies will generally provide coverage for yourself, your traveling companions and your immediate family members. Contact your travel insurance company to check what is their definition of immediate family members.

For US to Europe, fly to London first

0

One of my close friends recently found out that it was much cheaper to fly to London on one airline and fly from London to the Continent on another airline. This fact seems to be true regardless of what city in Europe you might want to travel to. What is more, I had some serious trouble with finding a cheap flight from virtually anywhere to Bratislava, so what I did instead was to find a flight to Vienna, which is only a little over an hour by bus from Bratislava. When you travel to the Old Continent remember that flying to Central and Eastern Europe is much more expensive than flying to Western Europe.”
