Travel Tip of the Day

Consider limiting the scope of your itinerary

Ambitious itineraries that cover lots of territory are obviously more costly than those limited to one or two locales. Staying in one place for more than a couple of days means you can learn helpful cost-cutting tricks like public-transport passes, free museum days, and apartment rentals. If you really have to be on the move, pick a base with plenty of options for day trips.
