Before you go

  • Trade fairs and holidays can affect accommodation costs; these budgets are estimates rather than quotes.
  • Keep your passport name identical across reservations. Confirm ticket rules, opening hours and entry requirements with official sources before travel.
  • Set up a supported payment app before departure, carry a second card and some cash, and check current fees with the provider.
