• Europe might seem like just one big country so it could be easy to forget each country has its own Visa requirements. Check ahead and ask the various Embassies what they require before you leave Australia.
• Ask at a local travel board for tourist apartments that can be rented for a few nights to a few months. Often the ones advertised online are more expensive, so asking locally could get you a cheaper deal.
• Try to avoid buying groceries and personal items in the ‘tourist strips’, rather ask around to find out where the locals shop.
