  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when you can, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.
