You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

Public transport
Bus, train (DART) and Luas (tram) from the main transport infrastructure in Dublin, though only the bus makes its way out to the airport.
The Luas is quick and modern, but best for commuting and short city-centre hops.
Dublin Bus is far more extensive and easy to use thanks to sign upgrades and the handy Dublin Bus app.
For travel to the coast, local train services via the DART are frequent and efficient.
Most public transport options don’t run late at night, so you need to make alternative arrangements after midnight.
You can pay for a bus, Luas, DART and suburban rail services using a Leap Card, available online or at 400 Payzone outlets across the city. You load the smartcard with money and the fare is deducted each time you travel, with daily and weekly caps and savings on cash fares. A Rambler card (which you can also load onto a Leap Card) allows five or 30 days of unlimited bus travel.

Taxis
Taxis sit on almost every street corner in Dublin. Well-established companies like Eight Twenty Cabs and NRC are safe bets, while the Hailo app is a popular option. A nightlife ‘rush hour’ at around 3 am invariably leads to long, expensive rides at weekends. Tips are typically in the 10% range.
*Uber is also available in and around Belfast and is a great alternative than Taxies. Click here for your first journey free.

Driving
While driving in the city is generally safe, rush hour traffic (0830-0930 and 1645-1800) can see aggressive driving. Dublin features a somewhat confusing one-way system, based on single-direction traffic along the quays. Outside the city centre though, driving is relaxing and comfortable.
The city’s ring road, the M50, has a camera-based toll that requires online payment within 24 hours.
Street parking is limited in the city centre. The city’s main car parks, with various hourly rates, are Arnotts, Middle Abbey Street, and Brown Thomas, Clarendon Street. For street parking, kerb side pay-and-display meters are standard.

Bicycle hire
While busy times of day can be less than pleasant for nervous riders, cycling is a great way to get around. Dublin Bikes offer a city-wide bike share scheme with lots of central hubs to collect and deposit bikes. 

Budapest, the bright capital of Hungary, bisected by the Danube river giving this one city two personalities. Buda built on a series of hills and known for its old town where as Pest is flat and busy with an assortment of bars, cafés and gourmet restaurants.
Best Time to Visit
Budapest is a year-round destination, though it fills with tourists in July and August. The most pleasant time of year to visit is May to June and September when temperatures remain warm but visitor numbers and hotel prices are significantly reduced. Although flights prices may be a little more expensive, the winter months can offer that magical dusting of snow upon the grandiose buildings, which can make this magnificent city even more magical.

Budapest Transportation
Budapest’s extensive transportation system is run by BKK (Link), Which offer a metro, tram, bus and rail service. All the lines connect together to make your transportation experience as simple as possible.
Budapest Weather
Hungary has a mild continental climate. There are four distinct seasons, with a very warm summer from June to August where temperatures can rise to as high as 35°C (95°F). Spring and autumn are mild, while winters are very cold, as low as -10°C (14°F), although expert some snow during your winter city break.

Know Before Visiting
Although Budapest is the capital of Hungary there can be quite a language barrier, as English isn’t as widely spoken as other European countries like Amsterdam. We would therefore advice to learn some basic Hungarian Phrases before you arrive to get the most out of Budapest.

Public transport
Transport in Belfast is efficient. The city has a good bus service (rather confusingly called The Metro) operated by Translink . The service runs approximately every 10 minutes throughout the day, and there is a less frequent night service.

You can buy single tickets or day passes directly from the driver. Alternatively, you can save money by loading trips onto a Smartlink Multi-Journey Card or by buying a dayLink card, which offers unlimited travel for one, five or 10 days. Weekly and monthly smartcards are also available. Smartcards are sold at Translink sales outlets throughout the city.
The Belfast Visitor Pass allows unlimited bus and rail travel for one, two or three consecutive days, as well as discounts on visitor attractions. You can buy it at the Belfast Welcome Centre. There are five bus stations scattered throughout the city; the main one is the Europa Bus Centre located at Glengall Street, off Great Victoria Street.

Taxis
In Belfast taxis operate from taxi ranks. One of the main taxi ranks in Belfast city centre is in front of City Hall, Adelaide Street. There are two types of Belfast Taxis: the London-style black cabs, and standard saloon cars which bear the name of the taxi company on the car roof. All taxis display a yellow disc on the car windscreen and are required to display coloured licence plates (black taxis display yellow plates and private taxis green plates). Never take a taxi without coloured plates. It is common practice to normally round up the fare.
*Uber is also available in and around Belfast and is a great alternative than Taxies. Click here for your first journey free.
Driving
Belfast is a relatively straightforward city to drive in, although the city is so compact and well served by public transport that most visitors will have no need of a car. If you do decide to drive, there are plenty of car parks in the city centre (charges apply). To pay for off-street car parks or on-street metered parking, you can either pay with coins or register with Parkmobile (www.parkmobile.co.uk) and pay using your mobile phone or online. Parking on Sundays is usually free.
Bicycle hire
Belfast is becoming a cycle-friendly city as the city now has its own bicycle-sharing scheme called Belfast Bikes. There are 300 bicycles spread out across the city in 30 docking stations and are available to hire daily between 6 am and midnight. Before hiring a bike, you must register either online or at a docking station. The first 30 minutes are free.

Dos and Don’ts of Eating In Europe
Everyone gets ripped off at one time or another while travelling and it seems to be more common when there can be a language barrier. So we are going to do our best to arm you with a little bit of knowledge to avoid being ripped off in Europe’s restaurants and cafes so you can get back to the serious business of eating some of Europe’s most delicious food.

The farther away from a tourist site you eat, the less likely you are to be ripped off
It’s a sad truth that in some less-than-honest establishments, tourists can be seen as easy prey. Restaurants and cafes right near the big tourist sites are the most likely candidates. It’s not always the case of course, but well-located eateries that don’t cater to a local (and therefore repeat) market are more likely to charge inflated prices.

Avoid restaurants and cafes with a host outside forcing you in.
Another tip-off that you’re in a touristy establishment: There’s a “host” outside the door asking you to come in (any restaurant catering to locals, won’t have this since they’ll rely on word-of-mouth)

Where you sit can really affect the price
It is quite common in cities like Rome, Paris, and Amsterdam that you will have to charge differently depending on where you sit. In Rome for example, you will find it cheaper to have a coffee or drink at the bar and may notice different prices for “banco” (standing) and one for “tavolo” (sitting).
Also in places like Paris and many other European cities restaurants may charge extra to sit outside ‘al fresco’, so be aware of any charges.

Understanding charges on your bill
You may find in some European cities that there can be extra fees or charges on your bill. In Rome, for example, you may see ‘“pane e coperto’ on your bill which is a charge for your bread that is generally not per basket but per head. You may also find almost all restaurants in Europe will charge you for water.

Understanding when to tip
Restaurant tips are more modest in Europe than in America. At restaurants, check the menu to see if service is included; if it isn’t, a tip of 5–10 percent is normal. In most places, 10 percent is a big tip. As a matter of principle, if not economy, the local price should prevail. Please believe me — tipping 15 or 20 percent in Europe is unnecessary, if not culturally ignorant.
Tipping is an issue only at restaurants that have waiters and waitresses. If you order your food at a counter (in a pub, for example), don’t tip. The “service charge” (Servizio in Italian, service in French, servicio in Spanish) can be handled in different ways. Sometimes the menu will note that the service is included (“servizio incluso”), meaning that the prices listed on the menu already have this charge built in. When the service is not included (“servizio non incluso”), the service charge might show up as a separate line item at the end of your bill.

If you can, check for reviews 
The best way to know what you're getting before you get it is to look at genuine non-biased reviews. By using Tripadvisor or Mytable, which both offer an honest rating of the restaurant, bar or cafe. You can also search restaurants near you and can also specify if you want cheap eats or fancy 5-star cuisine. 

Find A Park, Pack a picnic
To keep the cost down and live like a local,grab a take-away sandwich from a bakery or Supermarket and have a picnic. Picnics can be an adventurous money saving option. Also be aware In stores, unrefrigerated soft drinks, bottled water, and beer are one-third the price of cold drinks. Avoid buying drinks to go at streetside stands; you'll find them far cheaper in a shop.

Be aware of cultural differences
Keep in mind that by Uk/American standards, many Europeans such as the French undercook meats: rare or saignantis close to raw; medium or à point is rare; and well-done or bien cuit is medium. Also keep in mind that in an around certain cities of Europe you may find raw eggs put on top of items such as Pizza.

Transportation

Public transport:
Public transport in Paris is plentiful, relatively easy to understand and when compared to other capital cities pretty good value for money. The Paris Metro serves most tourists’ needs. Stops for the main sights and attractions are clearly signposted. Free transport maps are available at Paris metro stations, bus terminals and tourist offices and are usually available as leaflets at most hotels.
To link it all together, there’s the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) an integrated, five-zone system of bus, metro and trains that is both cheap and efficient.

For the Paris Metro, one ticket covers one journey, whether you travel for one stop, 20 stops, change trains or fall asleep and wake up at the end of the line. The one great failing, however, is the relative lack of lifts or escalators and the narrow ticket barriers. Trying to get around with prams, suitcases, crutches or wheelchairs is a challenge that you might decide you’d rather skip.
Taxis:
Taxis in Paris can be hailed in the street or caught at taxi ranks.
*Uber is also available in and around Paris and is a great alternative than Taxi’s. Click here for your first journey free.
Driving:
As with most major cities, driving in central Paris is usually more trouble than it’s worth. Most hotels do not have garages, parking is difficult (illegally parked cars are towed away) and traffic jams are frequent. with the combination of taxis and public transport, there’s really little need for you to battle the roads yourself.
Bicycle hire:
Vélib’ is Paris's city-wide bike hire service. The first half hour is free, with low charges thereafter. The 1,800 stands mean you are never more than 300m away from picking up one of the 20,000 bikes. And besides, is there anything more romantic than seeing Paris by bike?

Tips
- 18-25 year-old EU-citizens can get free admission to many Parisian museums and attractions. Check prices at the entrance.
Every first Sunday of the month, many Parisian museums offer free admission — expect long queues.
- Practical information about the metro, bus and RER network, including departure times and multi-day tickets, is found on the RATP website.
- When the metro closes, the night buses start running. It’s a good network, accessible with your normal metro and multi-day passes. For Noctilien timetables, see the RATP website.
- Cycle like a Parisian. Insert your credit card in a Vélib bike to take it wherever and whenever you want, cycling through the city. Be mindful of the traffic.
- Be aware that drinking and eating on terraces is more expensive than in the bar or restaurant itself. Plus, the closer a restaurant is to a hotspot, the higher the prices will be.
- Pay careful attention to your belongings, especially in metros and around tourist attractions.
- Do not sign any petitions or papers from people without a badge, don’t play betting games and be mindful of tricks that distract you in order to steal your valuable possessions.
- If you know that you’ll be making several journeys on the Metro, you can save money by buying a carnet (a batch of 10 tickets) instead of paying for each ticket one by one.

The minimum age to hire a car in Spain is 21. A passport and a valid driving licence are required, as is a valid international insurance policy, which you can buy at the time of hire. Car hire companies include Avis and Hertz.
Bicycle hire:
Barcelona is a cyclist-friendly city, with the public Bicing bicycle system proving an economical and convenient way to hire a bike. Sign up for a card online and swipe it at one of the bike stations to unlock a bike.

Tips
- If you're planning to see the three big Gaudí sites—La Sagrada Família,Park Güell, or La Pedrera at Casa Milà—make sure you book your tickets online ahead of time to avoid being locked out of something you came all the way to Barcelona to see.
- Barcelona has lots of great and food and drink and the best way to sample it is by ordering plenty of tapas and washing them all down with a cool, refreshing glass of red or white sangria.
- Just off the La Rambia is La Bogueria, a lovely market that sells everything from locally grown fruits to handmade items and is a lovely place to spend a mourning exploring in Barcelona.
- If you are travelling to Barcelona late February to early march we advice to check out the colourful Carnaval festival (carnestoltes). 
- When withdrawing cash from an ATM never select the option to be charged in your native currency always select 'no', and ask to be charged in euros; otherwise, using something called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), they will sting you for some extra dinero.
