Emma’s Top Tips:
- Plan, but Leave Room for Spontaneity: While it is important to have a rough itinerary, don’t be afraid to go off-script and follow your instincts. Some of the best experiences happen when you least expect them.
- Pack Light, Pack Right: Leave the kitchen sink at home and opt for a streamlined packing approach. Stick to versatile, mix-and-match outfits, and don’t forget to leave some space in your suitcase for souvenirs. Don’t forget comfortable shoes, there will no doubt be plenty of walking!
- Get Lost on Purpose: Put away your map and your phone and allow yourself to wander aimlessly through the city streets. You never know what hidden gems you might stumble upon.
- Embrace Public Transportation: Skip the rental car and embrace the local public transportation system instead. Not only is it more eco-friendly, but it also offers a more authentic glimpse into daily life in the city.
- Don’t Forget to Relax: Most importantly, with all the sightseeing and exploring, don’t forget to take some time to relax and recharge your batteries. Whether it’s a leisurely picnic in the park or a lazy afternoon spent people-watching from a sidewalk café, make sure to carve out some downtime for yourself.
