Adventure is a State of Mind

Don’t be afraid of public transportation! Having or renting a car is sometimes a necessity if you are traveling in more rural areas, but if you are visiting a city (or even smaller towns if you are in a country with an excellent bus or train service), using public transportation is significantly less expensive than renting a car or taking taxis everywhere. You also don’t have to deal with the hassle of finding a place to park. As a bonus, public transportation can also give you an opportunity to see more of how the locals live.

If you don’t have much experience with bus and metro systems, there is a wealth of knowledge on the internet. You usually can look up maps (to print out or download to your phone) and even buy transportation passes ahead of time if you prefer to do so rather than waiting until you arrive.
