How to make your vacation unforgettable, interesting and budgetary? The answer is simple - plan your trip yourself. It is believed that it is easier and safer to contact a travel agency, pay money and not think about anything. However, practice shows that a purchased tour is not a guarantee. In addition, you will be limited in the choice of hotels, in the ability to manage your time, you will not be able to refuse the tour without losing money, and finally, you will have to overpay for the services of a travel agent. To organize an independent holiday, you will need time, a lot of patience and very little money.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the country of your holiday. If you have a cherished dream, follow it. If not, be guided by which direction you can find budget offers for tickets and accommodation.
Step 2
Purchase airline tickets. All airlines in the world have seasonal promotions and discounted fares, as well as special offers on certain destinations. The cost of a ticket for a promotion (for one adult in both directions) usually does not exceed 100 Euro. For searches, you can use both airline websites and search engines such as https://www.dohop.ru. You can usually pay for tickets directly on the website using a credit card
In addition, you can use the services of "low-cost airlines" (full lists - on the website www.flylowcost.ru)
Step 3
Choose a hotel. The most popular booking site is
www.booking.com. When choosing a hotel, look first of all at the location. If your goal is sightseeing, choose a hotel with less stars, but closer to the center. For a comfortable stay, for example, in Europe, a 3 * hotel is quite enough. You can also target small family hotels or apartments - they are usually cheaper
Step 4
Get medical insurance. It's very simple - go to any branch of the insurance company with the original passport. To obtain a Schengen visa, you need to buy a health insurance policy that is valid for the entire duration of your stay in the Schengen countries and has a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000.
Step 5
Get your visa. To obtain a visa, as a rule, the following package of documents is required:
- original passport (passport must be valid for at least 6 months before the expected end of your trip)
- one completed questionnaire
- 2 photos
- a copy of the Russian passport (page with personal data)
- a copy of the first page of the passport
- insurance policy;
- confirmation of hotel booking (not always)
- confirmation of payment for tickets (round trip)
- confirmation of financial solvency (bank statement on the balance of funds in the account)
- confirmation of your readiness to return to the Russian Federation (certificate from work).
