If you arrive in a country by plane, you may have several options such as airport express, train, passenger bus, taxi, etc. to get to your accommodation. At this time, I usually find the location of the airport/train station on Google Maps and then refer to the most scenic spots in the city to be visited. Area, and then use the nearby function of Google Maps to show the hotels in the area on the map. You will easily see the hotels in the area, and then filter the hotels based on your budget and accommodation requirements. When you find something you like The hotel can use Google Maps to plan the route from the airport/train station to the hotel. Google Maps will display several routes. You can refer to the time taken for each route, the number of transfers and the distance to the accommodation after getting off the bus. Usually I always choose restaurants with few transfers and short walking time after getting off the bus, so that the time to pull luggage will not be too long, and it is safer, because in the European countries I love to go to, taxis are more expensive, and I prefer to use it. Public transportation, this route to your accommodation affects the convenience of your arrival and departure. It will be very convenient whether you are going to the airport or taking a train to your next destination.

Although the housing prices are generally higher in areas with concentrated attractions, in European countries, transportation costs are relatively high in many countries. If you choose cheap accommodations that are far from the areas with concentrated attractions, you will inevitably spend a lot of time in transportation. Calculating the daily transportation expenses, if you like shopping, you should choose accommodation close to your target shopping area, so that you can go back to the hotel to rest at any time when you are tired and put down the loot. It is better than looking for a coffee shop to buy coffee. You have to spend more money to rest, and carrying the spoils all the way is actually quite dangerous in European countries. In addition, it is not convenient to participate in some opera houses, night scenes and other activities at night. I personally feel that I would rather choose accommodation that is convenient to the attractions.

After finding the hotel on Google Maps, you can look at the real-life photos of the surrounding environment. For example, I don’t want to have construction sites nearby, trams passing by, etc., some people don’t like to live in dark alleys at night, facing high-rise buildings Wait, some are facing parks, etc. In short, pre-research can reduce dissatisfaction upon arrival

According to my experience, I do not recommend accommodation near the train station. The reason is that there is usually a poor security area near the station, which is more dangerous for women traveling alone, and the traffic is heavy, dragons and snakes, pickpockets, tramps, refugees They are all concentrated here, so even if it is more convenient to take the train to other cities when living near the railway station, I still prefer to choose the area where the scenic spots are concentrated, which is closer to public transportation and convenient for transfer to the accommodation at the railway station.

Accommodation options include hotels, B&Bs, rental apartments/suites, etc., I have lived in them all personally, and even in the UK I have rented elegant rooms from the British landlord’s wife. It can also be said to be a host family. I personally think that subletting is the cheapest But the most inconvenient and private accommodation, while renting an apartment has a certain insecurity. First of all, if the occupant deliberately copied the key in a crime, and you booked the room without seeing the landlord on the website, the money was also paid in full. A landlord has a problem. Not only do you have to worry about the theft of your luggage and shopping when you go out, but your safety may also be threatened. For example, a while ago when a female went to Portugal to rent a suite, the landlord installed a camera in the bathroom and called the police. There are usually more facilities, such as bars, restaurants, coffee shops, halls, gyms, SPAs, night clubs, etc., when the weather is bad, it is not suitable for traveling. It can also be used as a backup plan to meet your holiday in a hotel.

Although it is convenient to book a room online, it is because the credit card information has been delivered to the merchant when you book the room. When you arrive, you find that the room does not match the facts. There is no room for transfer. I once saw a beautiful room photo when I booked the room, but arrived When it comes to dilapidated rooms that are waiting to be demolished, some companies are refitting, putting some pictures of beautiful rooms that have been refitted on the official website for sale, attracting reservations, and when you arrive at the hotel, they will give you a completely different room from when you booked the room, similar to the Internet Fraud, so I suggest that you make sure to leave a screenshot of the web page screen and the content of the order when you book a room and pay. It is sufficient to prove what kind of room you booked at the time, so as to remind you what the room looked like at the time, so as not to lose money.
