good touring sights strategies

learn about your destination before you go
а. the world is always changing, and it`s necessary to travel with the most up-to-date information. guidebooks and travel websites can help you in getting started. tourism websites are a great place to begin planning your trip. many of the sites are packed with practical information, suggested routes, city guides, interactive maps, colourful photos, and free downloadable brochures describing walking tours and more. you don`t need to wait until you get to your travel destination to use their information.
b. don`t pack a lot of things. packing wisely is more important for your own good. you can`t travel heavy and happy. take this advice seriously. you`ll walk with your luggage more than you think you will. before your journey, give yourself a test. pack up completely and practice carrying your luggage. if you can`t, things out. when you don`t have to worry about your luggage getting lost, broken, or stolen.
c. for most tourists, visiting the world`s greatest attractions is the highlight of a trip. some people walk into major museums, churches, and ancient places of interest, stare for a few minutes, and then walk out. be a respectful visitor. with a little preparation and know-how, your sightseeing, might be more significant. you can`t possibly cover everything – so don`t try. first of all, don`t miss the masterpieces. if you have any energy left afterwards, you can explore other areas of specific interest to you.
d. if you decide to travel on your own, book tickets and accommodation beforehand. nowadays, almost every hotel has a website. just fill in a special form or send an email in simple english with your preferred dates, number and type of rooms, number of nights, date and time of arrival and departure. to stay away from mystification, be sure you use the hotel`s official site and not a booking agency`s site; otherwise, you may pay higher rates than you should.
e. your trip abroad won`t get off the ground if you don`t prepare your passport, a visa, and the tickets before you living date. keep an eye on your passport`s expiry date. if necessary, get your passport renewed before you go. a visa is a stamp placed in your passport, allowing you to enter the foreign country. if you need a visa, it`s best to get before you leave. it`s also smart to make photocopies of your passport and tickets. it`s easier to replace a lost or stolen passport and tickets if you have a photocopy.
g. some people can choose when to take their holidays, but many others have less choice. fortunately, all the countries welcome visitors 365 days a year. each season offers different adventures and experience. summer is great for travelling – except for the crowds and high temperatures. sunny weather and exciting nightlife turn popular travel destinations into a powerful magnet. but off-season is for you to enjoy popular sights in their glory with no crowd and more peaceful atmosphere.
