CHOOSING A TRAIN ON WEEKENDS
Take the local, not the express, on weekends if it is in the station and you're headed for a local station. If you wait for the express, you'll end up on the same local you skipped earlier.

The most important part of your hotel room is the bathroom. No matter how nice your bedroom, if the bathroom is bad, it can ruin your trip.

Count each kilometer as a mile when planning a trip by car. It will take as long to drive 300 kilometers in Europe as it takes to drive 300 miles in the United States.

LOWERING YOUR TRAVEL RISKS
Pick a hotel room between the third and sixth floors. Three floors puts you above street attacks and random shootings, while six floors will keep you in range of a cherry picker or fireman's ladder if the place goes up in flames.
