If you are in Europe, you would definitely like to travel as much European cities as possible. The Schengen agreement makes it easier to go from one country to another without the need of Visa. The use of the same currency (euro) eases for financial transaction abroad. The large network of the international airline services, train and bus services makes it convenient to go from one place to another. The properly managed transportation, navigation, online booking and payments assist to make a well prepared plan.

Travelling in Europe |
Here are some of the suggestions for making a trip:
Earlier the better:
If you are planning to fly to the destination; the earlier you book, more likelier than you can get some special offers to save money. Besides, earlier you book, cheaper will be plane fare. You can always seek for some airlines which offer some low price flights, but their airport stations are likely to be a bit far from the city when you are planning to go, and they may not have regular flights. Some of such airlines are wizzair, ryann, airbaltic etc. But still they can be planned accordingly.
Make extensive use of digital maps

Pin the sites on the map |
Use of digital maps (
google maps, nokia maps etc) are really essential for the navigation and make sure you are at the right place at the right time. Always confirm the location of bus stations, hostel/hotel exact meet point etc well before the trip so as to remove the ambiguity. Make sure to make them in the map as well for 'on the go' - use.
On bus:
If you are travelling by bus on international route, make sure that they wont stop it in the middle or make some break. So grabs some food and water to eat during the journey. It is advised to charge your mobile to full while inside the bus. Also put a small headphone in your pocket so that you can watch movies, listen to songs.
Find recommended places:
I generally use the
Tripomatic and
Tripadvisor to find the main attractions in the destined city. Once the sites to be visited is listed out, you can be assure where you it is advisable to select the hostel near our sites. There are a lot of sites that can find good booking places, make sure you check its user rating as well.
Make sure you are connected:
It is likely that you can get the roaming facilities with your mobile abroad, but please make sure you get connected during the trips. Simply googling, and posting on facebook, instagram may be indispensable on your tour. Downloading a language pack in the google-translate app is something you would want to do to make your life simple on the new place.
Finally,
Check the weather forecast as well.
Happy Travelling and Have fun !
