• Buses – Buses are cheap and allow you access to areas you may not be able to reach by train, ferry or flying such as smaller towns and villages.

• Walking – Due to the condensed nature of Europe often the best way to navigate around major cities is to simply walk. This can save you a lot of money and will allow you to take in all of the sights.

The climate In Europe while not exactly uniform is fairly predictable. Travellers will find that most places in Europe are prone to fairly cold weather, except for those nations in the Caribbean region. A general guide is that usually anywhere north of the Alps is fairly cold while the south is much warmer and can be prone to extremely warm weather during the summer.

Each county or region generally has its own visa requirements so it’s best to plan your trip in advance and contact the Consulate or Embassy of those countries you wish to visit before you leave. This will save you a lot of time and hassle while you’re on your holiday!
