8 hour layover in Stockholm. I’m heading from the US to Europe with a layover at ARN from 7am until 4pm. I presume this should be enough time to take a quick look around the city. I’d love any suggestions for the best way to use my time. I see there is a high speed train from the airport, but it seems expensive. Is this the best option, or are there more economically opti…

Which Caribbean island wouldn’t have big crowds in February? Great beaches most important thing Not really worried about food or nightlife or anything like that just a place where me and my wife can lay on the beach and swim for a few days for a reasonable price without having to deal with hoards of people submitted by /u/NefariousnessAway859

Mexico – Tulum Tulum was absolutely beautiful! We stayed at Nerea hotel. The hotel is gorgeous. Very private away from the city but close enough to go eat and shop around. The hotel has breakfast included and it’s absolutely delish and lots to choose from. The beach is rocky so not really swimmable but the views and pier is priceless. Taxis are pricy here. Ma…

Good place to chill post Christmas We are looking to travel somewhere in the US where we can chill and relax. All we want to do is stay in an airbnb/hotel that has nice views and is within walkable distance to vibey streets. We like trying out coffeeshops and local cafes. We currently live in Dallas Texas and want to go somewhere outside of Texas. We are not specifically looking …

What’s your take on being “priced out” of certain destinations? I was asking a friend about his angry refusal to ever go back to a spot in Mexico we both like. His answer was that “it wasn’t affordable anymore”. I hear similar grumblings about recent changes in Argentina and Europe is of course a frequent target of those complaints. On one hand it is indeed a fact that places turn more expensive – for varie…

Going to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Xi’an in China, before Japan. Where else should I go? I’m going to Beijing, Xi’an, Hangzhou, and Shanghai as part of a group trip in mid March. I have 2-3 more days I can spend in China before going to my next destination. I’m trying to figure out where I can go. The only other time I visited China was Shenzhen when I went to HK last year, so not interested in either of those. Chongqing :- the ci…

Can a trip really help when you’re feeling down? When going through a rough patch, feeling down, useless, or stuck, can traveling really make a difference? People often say that getting away, seeing new places, or having a change of scenery can bring back energy and motivation. But there’s this fear of coming back to the same struggles or even making things worse. Does it truly work, or is it…

Maldives-Level Paradise? Help Us Choose: Seychelles, Mauritius, Mexico, or Thailand? Hi everyone! Three years ago, we visited the Maldives, and it was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Of course, it’s not everyone’s ideal destination, but for us, it was perfect. The all-inclusive package offered delicious food, great cocktails, stunning sandy beaches, and crystal-clear water. It was the perfect balance between a relaxing holiday…

car rent in USA, EU citizen Hi, I’ve gone through a lot of topics but I haven’t found a clear answer. I’m an EU citizen planning a 3 week trip in the US, start and end in LA, multi-state. I am confused about the types of insurance. I learned that it is better to book a car through a comparison site, I tried Rentalcars.com. But I didn’t see anywhere if their insurance cover…

Free WiFi at the airport. Who is worst and who is best? Your thoughts I’m amidst the longest transit of my life; over 60 hours. WiFi is super important! I was in Lima, where I believe you get 30 min free with an advert, and i think it was the same with mexico city. Currently in bkk where you get an hour for free. The most annoying by far each time I’ve travelled has been peking (Beijing airport), where you have an…

Lost luggage Copenhagen Hi all, A couple of days ago, I was dumb enough to check in a bag without the tag attached yet (Norwegian – Copenhagen Airport). I for sure thought that the monitor would tell me beforehand that the bag was about to go away really quickly, but no. My bad. Anyway, I immediately informed the staff that my bag had gone and they asked me to describe…

Sent through passport control and customs on flight from Athens to Nice? Today I flew from ATH to NCE on Aegean. Upon landing everyone was sent through passport control, travelers who only had their ID were confused, and my passport (USA) was stamped again, so I have two entry stamps and in a week I’ll get one exit stamp when I return home. And our bags were delivered to the bag claim within the customs area. Further…

Best walkable cities to vacation to? Hello I hate driving. I currently live pretty car free on the north side of Chicago and enjoy it a lot. I haven’t really had a lot of opportunities to vacation in a lot of places, and I’m trying to plan at least one trip a year. I’m okay using public transportation or Uber/Lyft if necessary, though I’d prefer mostly public transit and walking wh…
