Europe is a huge world, which everyone wants to visit. But there are many obstacles that do not allow this. Inveterate travelers do not have to stop, but beginners need some knowledge.
A travel agency or an independent trip?
Advantages of the travel agency are obvious. Independent rest is very difficult at any stage: from visa registration to tickets for return flight.
If you use the services of travel agencies do not want to, and planning the trip brings pleasure, then you need to pay attention to all the pitfalls. When organizing a trip to Europe, the route must be pre-determined as accurately as possible. Movement at each point should be supported by transport.
It is necessary to plan the visit to countries most rationally. Choose those that you want to visit and build your journey, starting from their location relative to each other.
Accommodation must be booked in advance. If you plan to attend any events, it is also better to book tickets in advance.
The plus of independent travel is freedom of action. You can not use the template tour, do not view the sights for a certain number of minutes, do not follow someone's schedule. It is a chance to merge with the local population. being in the crowd of tourists it is difficult to do this. But to have supper in little-known restaurants, to walk on local streets - independently it is quite real.
Required skills
It is believed that when going on a trip, you must know a foreign language if there is not an interpreter nearby. Now this is not so.
A large number of phrase books will help you to orient yourself on the ground. Sign language also will not leave the tourist without help.
In all countries it is customary to equip transport systems with readable symbols. Also with a card on your hands - it will be difficult to get lost.
It is more important to be able to use information systems and the Internet. before the trip you need to find accommodation, book a hotel, make a route, all this is difficult for those who do not get along with the technology.
How to plan a route?
The easiest way to plan a route is to study the already existing ones. On the forums and sites of travelers you can find many examples of their trips.
Choosing one of them, or creating your own route, you need to remember some rules:
Do not try to see everything, it will only smudge all the impressions, it is better to spend a few days in a certain city, so that there was a possibility not to run near each sight, but in a quiet rhythm to admire them;
At each point of travel, you need to choose the best transport. The same distance in different countries is best overcome in different ways. For example, in Germany the train is good for 300 km, but in Spain for these purposes you need to use a bus;
The list of attractions will help you understand which tickets you need to buy in advance.
If possible, then plan a trip better at a time when the influx of tourists will be minimal. This will help significantly reduce costs and reduce the time spent in the queues.
