Transportation

1. Depending on budget and schedule, either fly, or take the train or bus when traveling long distances (moving, say, between countries and major cities). Or, in the case of island-hopping, you'll need to sort out a ferry.

2. In the city, either walk or use public transport. European cities especially are known for their compactness and walkability, and what better way to see a place?

3. The cities are also known for the difficulty of driving and parking in town. Save your rental car money until you're ready to explore the surrounding region and countryside. Rail and bus transportation also is less reliable and more restrictive outside of cities, whereas renting a car lets you travel at your own pace, to wherever you want to go.
