Whether you prefer a charming hotel or a cozy Airbnb apartment, make sure you’re close to the sites you’re interested in. If you’re driving, it might be a good idea to check if there’s public parking near your vacation spot, or even if it has a private parking spot. And if you’re traveling in an electric car, don’t hesitate to ask if the parking spots are equipped with charging stationswhich could really be a plus for the serenity of your stay and your walks in the surrounding area.
Mastering the art of urban driving
If you choose to drive, familiarize yourself with the city map and its road features. A good GPS app will be your best friend to avoid traffic jams and find smart shortcuts. Don't hesitate to leave your vehicle in the parking lot and explore on foot – it's often the best way to capture the essence of a city.
The essence of travel
Remember that the goal is not to frantically check boxes on a list, but to soak up the city’s unique atmosphere. Allow yourself time to stroll down a picturesque alley, enjoy a coffee on a terrace or chat with the locals. These spontaneous moments are often the most memorable.
