Once you know your budget you can look for option that meet your requirements.
Book Your Accomodation and Transport

Will you use a train, a bus, a car or will you be flying? Use price comparison sites to check out flight prices from your chosen airport before making a booking to ensure you are getting the best deal.
Make a Packing Checklist

Buy Insurance
Don’t forget that travel insurance is a vital part of your holiday. It will protect you in the event of you needing medical treatment or becoming a victim of crime. Check that you have adequate coverage and that the country that you are traveling to is covered.
