Match the hotel to the strongest part of the itinerary rather than selecting only on star category or nightly price.

Give weather-sensitive or long-transfer activities enough buffer and keep one block free for a neighbourhood, café, market, beach, park or viewpoint discovered during the trip.

central streets, malls and local design shops offer souvenirs and fashion Keep receipts for major purchases and understand local tax-refund or customs rules before relying on them.

Pack for the season and the itinerary rather than the destination name alone. Include comfortable walking shoes, a compact day bag, charging adapters and any weather layer required for day trips.

Dress for climate, walking and the specific attraction. Respect local religious, cultural and venue-specific dress requirements where they apply.
