Travel Tips
A short checklist for the decisions that are easier to make before you leave.

Start with the constraints: how many nights you have, how you will move between places, and what you need in hand at the airport. Those three choices shape the rest of the plan.
Documents
Check passport validity and entry rules for the specific country before you book anything that is hard to change. Requirements differ by nationality, so a general travel site cannot tell you that you are cleared to enter.
Packing
Pack for the weather at the destination and for the way you will travel between stops. A trip with several trains is easier with a bag you can lift yourself.
Getting around
Compare the transfer time, not just the distance. A scenic day trip that takes four hours each way may leave too little time at the place you came to see.
