You can also rent a storage space. These units are often located in large shopping centers or hotels. There are discounts available for multiple units, although prices can vary.

You can also hire a porter. A porter will transport your luggage from the carousel into your room. You pay a small fee each time he helps you.


What can I take with me in my suitcase?

You should always have at least two pairs of shoes. Two pairs are needed for daily walking in the city and two for vacation.

Also, make sure to have enough clothing for both. If you are traveling by plane, you need to make sure you have an extra shirt, pants, underwear, and socks.

You might consider bringing along some clothing if you plan to stay longer. This way, you won't feel uncomfortable when you go shopping for new outfits.

Comfortable shoes will be required if you plan to take a train or bus. For those who drive, it is a good idea to have spare tires.

You should also pack lots of toiletries including shampoo, toothpaste as well as moisturizer and deodorant.

And last but not least, you'll need to take a flashlight, insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a first aid kit.

It's better to keep all your items in one bag than to try to fit them in different bags. This will save you time and space.

Finally, remember to bring a small towel or washcloth. They'll come in handy when you shower after a long day of sightseeing.
