Every country is different, but your needs will always be the same: you need to move around quickly and easily. So study the transport system in your destination before you visit. Sometimes it’s really simple: a single metro system for the whole city. Great! Sometimes it’s more complicated: a mixture of public and private train lines, multiple bus companies and different kinds of taxis. Either way, find out about it before you travel. Download a good map app. Prepare all you want, but sometimes you’ll get lost. It’ll happen.
