Travel Tips

Copenhagen, Denmark

Canals beside Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen

Travel Tip: Despite Copenhagen being a very expensive city to be a tourist in (I found anything from food, accommodations, and visiting attractions to be more costly than Stockholm), there are many fantastic FREE things to do in Copenhagen – yes, that’s right FREE things to do. For instance, it doesn’t cost a cent (or krona) to go up the Christiansborg Palace Tower. As the tallest tower in Copenhagen, you can see the city’s colourful buildings and rooftops spread out around you. (PHOTO TAKEN OCTOBER 2014 – CANAL NEXT TO CHRISTIANSBORG PALACE)


Rome, Italy

Travel Tip: Buy tickets for major tourist attractions online. You may end up paying a few Euros extra online, but you’ll end up saving countless hours of line waiting if you don’t plan on going first thing in the morning. This was important for us – we only had 4 days in Rome and there was so much to see. Try to buy tickets a few days in advance as well – online tickets may be sold out for some places if you try to buy them the day before. (PHOTO TAKEN FEBRUARY 2015)
