1 2 3 4 5 [Next] - The UK is well-known as being one of the more expensive European countries to visit. Currently, this is especially the case for visitors from the US, who are suffering from the unfavorable exchange rate. One possibility to reduce costs is not to stay in hotels. UK hotels are often very expensive and the quality is sometimes disappointing. Consequently, next time you're visiting the UK, I'd recommend renting a holiday apartment instead. Often very pleasant flats can be found in city centers, and sometimes it is possible to stay for just one night. One company that offers such holiday flats is Centro Stay (www.centrostay.co.uk), which offers serviced apartments in York. However, there are no doubt countless other such companies in all British cities. Staying in a flat enables visitors to have a great deal more privacy than a hotel. Additionally, almost all flats will feature a kitchen, thus allowing visitors to save money by preparing their own food. 20-Apr-2008 James Brown ID2078 - Don't pay for airport or port parking charges. Use an airport transfer service, which will take you and collect you from the airport, etc. from outside the terminals, and can carry your party in one car/bus for a fraction of the price of taxis, trains, and buses. Find them local in your area in most directories or newspapers in the summer months. 22-Apr-2001 Dale Devey ID128 - Commonwealth citizens between the ages of 18 and 27 may apply for a working holiday visa BEFORE they leave their home country. There are conditions that apply, but once the visa is issued it entitles the holder to live and work in the UK for a preiod of 2 years. It is a fantastic opportunity to see the whole of the UK and get to know the friendly people of this fantastic little island. Jobs are available all over. From bar work to telesales, as long as you are willing and able you can earn some pocket money to finance the next bit if travel. Have fun, and enjoy! Working Holidays in the UK 18-Dec-2003 Working Holidays in the UK ID59 - When traveling in England, keep in mind that unlike many other countries worldwide, English folk do not like to be paid in US dollars; they only accept British pounds. 3-May-2001 lmp ID192 - When travelling to the U.K. with your hair dryer, electric shaver, etc., don't forget to buy an adapter to fit in the U.K. sockets before you leave home - or at latest in the airport upon arrival. You are unlikely to find these adapters commonly available anywhere else in the U.K. Adapters are available in all electrical shops, but these are for U.K. appliances to fit non U.K. sockets, i.e., for when U.K. citizens are travelling outside of the U.K. Don't forget that U.K. voltage is 240 volts - it will fry your 110 volt appliance without the correct transforming adapter. 4-Aug-2005 The Old Mill Private Hotel, Nannerch, North Wales, UK ID1125 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
