7 ROOKIE BACKPACKERS MISTAKES



Here is list of 7 mistakes. Some of them (or maybe all) also we made. We hope that our tips will help you with your next trip.





Enjoy your reading.



  1. Hotel location 
Chose a hotel somewhere on your way from airport (or train station / bus station) until center or in a center, near attractions. 
If you are going to choose a hotel far away you will spend a lot of important time to go from hotel to center every day. 
Also, make sure that your hotel is located near the metro station and/or bus station. This is how you will definitely save some time on your way and rather spend it for enjoying your vacation. 


  1. Luggage room in the hotel
Check if your hotel has a luggage room. If you will arrive in the city early in the morning and in your hotel check-in is available only in the afternoon, you can leave your luggage in a hotel luggage room. So that you don’t need to drag all your luggage with you all day long. Because of that, the first point on this list is even more important. 
Also when you are going back home and your flight (or bus or train) is late in the afternoon or in the evening you can make check out in the morning and leave your luggage in the hotel luggage room. Then you can still enjoy all day around the city and pick up your luggage right before you leave the city. 


  1. Too much /too little luggage
This point is very important for backpackers. If you are traveling only over the weekend or a week, you really don’t need many things. Make sure that you take only the most important things with you. And don’t worry, in the final location most likely has a store, where you can buy something. 
Before departure also check weather forecast. If there is possibility to be cold, windy or rainy take with you some warm clothes. 

  1. Check comments 
Check ALL comments of hotel where you planning to stay, all restaurants and all other attractions that you are planning to visit. Check comments on more than 1 website. 
For a hotel, you can check comments on booking.com, on TripAdvisor or easily on Google. It is important that you read as many comments as you can. Make sure that you read the good ones and especially the bad ones. After that you can decide is this hotel or restaurant good enough for you or you will pick another one. 


  1. Be on time at the airport 
When you should arrive at the airport it depends on how big the airport is. If it is small and you make your check-in online, be at the airport an hour before the gate opens. If you are flying from a big airport and you need to make check-in we suggest you to be there when check-in opens. 


  1. Use public transport for long-distance
Check on Google Maps or some other app how far is your next thing to see. If it is really far use a public transport system. You will spend some money, but you will save your important time and also your energy. If there is no other option, of course, you have to walk. Also, we prefer walking, but we think it's not worth walking 2 or 3 hours to see one sight. Spend your time smart. 


  1. Too many things to see in a day 
We know that we would rather see everything in only one day, but that is just impossible. Make a travel plan day by day. Make sure that there are no more than 4 things to see in one day. 
Have a plan B in case of rain.
