12- Trying to travel in groups to get discounts

Traveling in groups, in itself, helps to economize by sharing certain costs, but in the case of discounts, the groups benefit in some entries to museums, clubs and tourist sites, but especially (and where the real benefit feels in your economy) hostels and trains.

If you are under 30 years and you can get discounts for group bookings in purchasing your train pass. And in many hostels, groups can get discounts. In the case of the hostels can vary from place to place, but it trains the discount is fixed. You just have to ask the travel agent. (more…)

10- The request is to give (cheaper)

The quality of tourist services varies greatly from country to country. Normally, where you’ll have a little more trouble will be in Italy or Spain. Some tourism officials of these countries often do not have very good mood. However, one must be calm, be patient and although the official tourism is rude to try to be nice, because that might help you get what you’ve come here looking for: obtaining a service (change of ticket, better train itinerary, hostel, etc.) cheaper.

Be polite and keep cool always help: I discuss below two examples that occurred to me. One in Madrid and one in Paris. (more…)

7- Planning the most important (the first destination and the budget)

One of the most important things is to plan your day out on the plane. You just have more time with your airline’s reservation, the cheaper. If you think going to Europe in June and reserves in May will be very expensive. Another thing you should do is have booked the first hostel or hotel you’ll get.

That is, having a safe destination in the first city you visit. Knowing that you have nowhere to sleep that night. Hence, because maybe you can improvise or keep a schedule. I had a program, but it just arrived in Paris because the city I modified all fascinated me. And then I modified in the Netherlands and Czech Republic and Italy … and not to make it longer, I was not going to go to Portugal and even went for Lisbon.

Another thing that can (and should) plan is the maximum daily budget. Closely as possible, because the money is important. Normally, always trying to change traveler’s checks out tourist sites, because in them the cost of change is high. You can save up to three euros for each transaction (and perhaps more). (more…)

5- Gather all possible information about sites to visit

Traveling is where that phrase becomes important that information is power. If you can, you should buy little by little, some travel guides to cities you plan to travel. To me, for example, buy a small guide to London (the cheapest, 90 pesos in Sanborn’s) helped me learn all the “City” of the British capital (the City is the historic center).

An example. In this guide I learned that a bus is taken into Victoria Station (I think it is 24) traverses the same locations as those buses “sightseeing” (they do tours of the sights). So, just boarded the truck and went down in every place I wanted to know. From Trafalgar Square to Westminster Abbey, etc.

Now, if you do not want to spend on this, as is the internet and advice they can give other travelers. What matters is being the best informed as possible. (more…)

4- Always search for a hostel, sharing an apartment for a month and trains as lodging

In Mexico, although there is in many tourist hostels, this hostel is not within the culture of travel. Many young people wishing to travel even know that there is a chance the famous hostels or Bed and Breakfast.

Hostels. The hostel is the cheapest way there, because normally costs between 12 and 20 dollars a night. Of course, you share room with other people (sometimes four, sometimes three, sometimes six) and have a free breakfast (juice, cereal, milk, bread with butter and jam, fruit, chocolate, coffee, etc..), Although London for many hostels do not include breakfast (it should be noted that London is an exception in many cases).

There are separate hostels and guest houses belonging to two global organizations: Hostelling International and Hostels of Europe. These global organizations maintain a level of quality in almost all hostels within them. This means that if you get to a hostel of some of them, in the country it is, even Mexico, it will have good services. Clean rooms, security (although one must take precautions), clean bathrooms (which I had in Paris was very good and the shower was in my own room), Internet, bar, reading rooms, smoking, large kitchen, spots rest, information, telephones, etc.. This requires you to buy a card from some of these associations at any travel agency. This card is not expensive and includes a book with all the hostels that are in the world (the organization that you join) and a notebook with bonuses and discounts for museums, restaurants, etc.. (more…)

3- Finding the best airfare

At first, especially on the Internet, some may seem expensive airfares. Do not get discouraged. Normally, no discounts direct purchases and certain facilities. And although most advisable to buy a ticket is a travel agency to enter, from time to time, the pages of airlines can be useful because sometimes there are special offers (some of them only if you buy online) or payment facilities, especially in winter. Some of them consist of a round trip ticket at low cost if the return ticket is done by a certain date (sometimes a month and a half, sometimes three weeks, etc.).

However, it is best, always, go to a travel agency. In them, you usually attend a lady or young lady. From the beginning try to be cordial with her.

This may sound obvious, but it is important to keep in mind because, at one point, she will be one of your strongest supporters for your trip. (more…)

1- Determine the time you want to travel

In Europe, most people want to travel during the late spring and summer. Traveling in these times has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

If you are young, you make friends. There will be youth with backpacks everywhere. It is warm and pleasant. There are also events, concerts and festivals of all kinds by many European cities.

Particularly, it is an excellent time to visit the Mediterranean. No need to go to Monaco or Nice. There are also beautiful and fun places such as Valencia, Naples. And even beautiful cities like Dubrovnik, in Croatia in the Adriatic Sea. This must be stressed. Not only the European Union countries are beautiful. (more…)
