Find Accommodation:

  • Research and select suitable accommodation options based on your budget and preferences. The usual is different for each traveler, consider factors such as location, amenities, reviews, and accessibility to key attractions. We use booking.com, airbnb.com and kayak.com.
    • In case you need something cheaper, you can try a hostel which has shared rooms for usually a fraction of a normal room. Our go to website for this is hostelworld.com
    • We are also using our AI powered hotel search which has the best offers from Nuitee and chose from them if there is a better price for the same room.
  1. Find Your Mode of Transportation:
    • Hop on Google Maps and check how you're gonna move from the airport to your accomodation. This usually involves a cab or a bus/train/metro to the city. If you travel for longer and you're considering some day trips, it is a good idea to rent a car.
    • Most airports have good public transport to/from the city, but we suggest you check your options beforehand, as still in 2024 not all airports have good network connectivity you can rely on.
