Porady dla podróżnych

Poruszanie się po okolicy

Buses, trains, or Uber and Lyft

Learn to use public transportation, or walk, or take Uber or Lyft, or rent bikes. Try not to drive if you can help it, because parking is a pain.
Zarezerwuj, zanim wyruszysz

Book ahead for everything you can

Especially with the pandemic, even some bars require booking ahead
Co spakować

Layers and sweaters

never go out without some kind of jacket because even if it's warm in mid day, it WILL get cold by the afternoon. lose the umbrella, as it rarely rains except in the winter.
