9hr layover in Bogota I have been blessed with a 9hr layover in Bogota when flying from Santa Marta to CDMX. I have never visited, is this enough time to leave and take a bus somewhere interesting? Or go find something good to eat? Any recommendations on what to do? I imagine I have ~7 hours to play with. submitted by /u/93Cracker

Expedia is a nightmare So before I get into this I am totally aware of my mistakes in this situation. But Expedia is an absolute nightmare and I’d say a scam. We purchased a package from them that included the airfare and hotel in the US Virgin Islands. Once we got it we never really dug into it assuming everything was good. Finally the day of the trip comes and durin…

Flying out of Dublin Ireland ? Dutyfree. If you’re thinking of picking up some last minute souvenirs, stop at the local Applegreen Service Station. Identical, but limited selection, Applegreen is almost 1/2 the price for mugs, key rings etc. than at dutyfree inside Dublin airport. submitted by /u/oughtabeme

What is a place people overlook because it isn’t the main touristy thing? For me, it is the Akshardham Temple in Delhi. Most people just stop by Delhi on their way to Agra to see the Taj Mahal so it gets overlooked. It is one of the most beautiful and places I have ever seen, and beaming with Hindu and Indian culture! There are usually plenty of domestic tourists, but it rarely gets mentioned online so I thought I wou…

We are due to spend 72 hours there then fly back to Sydney. I have dual citizenship and a UK passport so I don’t need a visa. But she as an Australian does. She applied for the 90 day tourist visa a few weeks ago, and the application is still pending. The flig…

Venice – ‘Different’ Things To Do? Going to Venice later this month – weather might not be as good but hopefully not as many tourists. Thought to post here asking as per the title if anyone who’s been had anything in mind that’s perhaps different from what is usually suggested? Obviously I’ll still look to visit places such as those in St Mark’s Square, but thought if anyone had …

10 hour layover at CLT, Charlotte, NC: Any good opportunities? Hey guys, I have a ten hour layover here December 18, on a trip to Costa Rica. I thought of leaving the airport and wandering around for a bit, finding some food and maybe hanging around a hotel lobby or something. Basically, getting some fresh air and not feeling stuck in that airport all that time. I’ll have to go through security again but fo…

A day away from Hong Kong Hello I am going to Hong Kong soon for 8 days and I realised that it might be a day or two too much. I know you can get some visas on arrival for Shenzhen and Guangzhou but I’m unsure which one i should choose and what the exact difference is between the two places as they just seem like huge metropolis’. submitted by /u/HarryBlopper

Which African countries are suitable for budget travel? I’m young, not rich, and want to visit Africa. The places that especially interest me: South Africa: heard there’s great surfing, diving, hiking, wildlife, urban life Ethiopia: been told there’s good food, fascinating history, lots of mountains. Saw some videos from a friend and looks like there’s a lot of very traditional life outside the citie…

Anxiety in Bangkok Hello, I’m an American spending 3 weeks in Thailand for my honeymoon. (I’ve traveled to Europe and the Philippines before and have never had anxiety at home or abroad). It’s my second day in Bangkok and my wife and I chose to take a 30 minute walk in the evening to an open air night market. I was very tense on the walk there because although it …

Traveling to Iraq (Mosul and Duhok) in Spring. What would be best way to get there? I was deployed in Mosul and spend time in Kurdish cities of Duhok and Erbil. I need to go back for some closure. I found some flights to Baghdad, but it’s a 7 hour drive to Duhok which will be my primary destination. While it would be nice to road trip and make a stop in Kirkut where I spent few weeks in, I’m not sure how safe it would be. No…

Upscale hotel had bed bugs and won’t refund – what to do? Hi everyone, a few weeks ago I was travelling to Berlin and stayed at Vienna House by Wyndham Andel’s Berlin. I was horrified to discover that I was bitten by bed bugs across my face, neck and body during the night, and developed an allergic reaction to the bites, including a swollen eye. In the bed, I discovered bed bugs crawling under the shee…

Whenever I go to a new country, I always like to see what unusual flavors of Pringles/Lays/etc they have and try one. What little travel traditions do you have? I always try to choose the bigger national or international brands, and choose a flavor that’s actually commonly available and popular not an obscure experiment/limited edition type flavor. submitted by /u/bqzs

Traveling overseas with a rabies vaccine. How to best go about it? Hello! Im not sure where to post this but figured I’d start here. I’m currently in India where my girlfriend was bit by a monkey. We’ve completed 3 of the 4 doses of the rabies vaccine but will be back home in the U.S. for the fourth and final vaccine. My plan is to buy it here ($5 over the counter) and bring it with us to avoid the massive amo…

Traveling to India with a felony? I have a felony from 15 years ago (when I was 19 years old). It’s a very long story but I basically crossed the border with an illegal immigrant and have a charge for that. I’ve always dreamt of visiting India and it’s heartbreaking to think I will never get the chance bc of a stupid decision when I was young. If it makes any difference, I did n…
