9) Look Into Local Transport
Researching the best way to get around is particularly important if you’re travelling to a big city. A number of websites exist, such as the wonderful Rome 2 Rio, that will tell you the best and cheapest way to get from point A to point B wherever you are in the world.
These itinerary planners are great for single excursions but if you’re staying in one city for three days, a week or more, there are always discounted travel tickets you can buy for the duration of your stay. If there’s an underground system in the place in which you’re traveling — that’s the first place you should look for a money-saving deal.
Just because you’re a tourist that doesn’t mean you can’t sign up for the same card the locals use. Top Up cards, or cards with unlimited use, are life-savers in big cities where you are constantly using the bus or underground rail network to get from place to place. The first thing London travelers should do, as soon as they arrive, is to get themselves an Oyster Card.
