Probably the countries of Europe - the choice if not the majority, then every second traveler who is planning leave. In almost any city of old Europe, you can find entertainment and atmosphere for every taste, and someone from year to year does not change your favorite route, studying some kind of country, culture and language.
If you want to go to see a few cities or countries yourself, in this case you have to attach a little more effort than with an organized trip through the agency. We will talk about the basic rules that need to be taken into account on a single trip.
Carefully plan your route
To begin with, determine how many countries you want to visit, whose culture attracts you the most. As a rule, independent tourists choose one major country, after which they are building the rest of the route. Take advantage of the network, from familiar, this is a great way to find cafes, restaurants and hotels that do not disappoint. Selecting several places to visit, think how you can get from one point to another if you are limited in time, you do not have a pre-ordered transfer and car rental. Consider even the smallest nuances.

Public transport
If you decide throughout the journey to use a taxi service, you will be likely to run at the first week, and you will not receive pleasure from the trip. Another thing is public transport, especially in the city center: in the winter months of trams and buses, following the central streets, you will simply be saved and allow you to explore the main attractions from the window. In most European countries, public transport is very well developed. However, do not try to snatch and drive a "hare": the size of the fine for the unfinished passage can shock you.

Currency
The biggest error of tourists - in all European countries you can pay the euro. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and several other countries will disappoint you in this regard. Therefore, you always specify in advance in which currency will pay in every point of your trip, it is best to change cash even before leaving at a favorable course.
Of course, in all countries they take bank cards, but cash must be with you necessarily - in minor costs in the form of various tickets, tip and other small spending.
Aid kit
You should not count that all the necessary medicines you will get on the spot: most drugs are sold according to the recipe, and no one guarantees that the remedy you need in the pharmacy. In addition, collecting a first-aid kit, learn whether the prosecution of a particular medication is allowed, especially if we are talking about painkillers and antibiotics. Otherwise, your European first-aid kit will not differ from the first-aid kit to other, more exotic places.
When is it better to go?
One of the main advantages of Europe can be considered the opportunity to choose a convenient direction at any time of the year: New Year's holidays to meet in Prague and Austria, in the summer you can go to the south of France or in Italy, in the spring and autumn to visit the Netherlands and Germany, where the largest festivals are held in it Time respectively.
