Serbia Travel Guide

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).And if you have a debit card, then get the budget three or four days the cashier to charge you only the three or four euros for each transaction (at least that was hard to Caja de Madrid). And of course, bring dollars hidden somewhere, for emergencies.

8- Search for free tickets museums and tourist sites

Normally, the museums in Europe have dates whose entrance is free to the public. They vary from city to city, but invariably there, as there are hours and days when fares are cheaper.

This information is readily available in any module of information. For example, every third Sunday of the month in Paris, the Louvre Museum has free admission.

9- Cheaper phone calls and internet cafes

Compared with Mexico, charges for international telephone calls from Europe are incredibly cheap. And you have many options. You can talk from a shop (a business dedicated to international phone calls) which abound in almost all European countries. Or you can choose a phone card, which typically cost 5 euros.

In the case of the parlors, just look for those offering the lowest fare. In 2002, eight minutes call from Rome to San Luis Potosi, cost me at about 1.50 euros. I found a similar rate when I spoke from Brno, Czech Republic. Even from London is not as expensive.

Talk of a public call box is also not so expensive, and usually, especially in London, the cabins have very clear instructions on how to mark each country.

In the case of the cards, then you find that there are dozens of types of cards. It is best to ask you to recommend one. There are different costs, but the cheapest is 5 euros. With this card you can call for 45 minutes to Mexico (approximately). It costs more to talk about Monterey to San Luis Potosí (nearly one dollar for two minutes with a card from Telmex) to Paris to San Luis Potosi (ten minutes for a dollar).

Now, if you want to call, internet cafes abound in Europe of all types and all fees but you can usually find some whose value varies from one euro to a euro and a half hour. So, communication with your loved ones will not be a problem.
