It’s very easy and will probably save you time and money. Here are some tips that can help you organize the best summer holiday of your life.

  • Check dates for your trip. You can do it either in Windows standard calendar or using any of the calendar tools available on Softonic.
  • Make a to-do list with any simple to-do tool or even on an online application that you can check from anywhere.
  • Book plane tickets online. All major companies have developed websites where you can check prices and buy tickets, usually with special web fares.
  • Rent a car on the web. Many renting services also allow online booking now. You can choose your car and print out the renting contract right from your home.
  • Plan your route. If you’re travelling by car it’s always a good idea to arrange road routes. Two good tools to plan road routes are ViaMichelin and Mappy.
  • Email the embassy. Are you travelling abroad? Ask the embassy for information. They’re usually very kind and will send you a bunch of maps, guides and leaflets for free.
  • Find information about your destination. Apart from embassies, there are other tools like the Schmap guides which you can use to obtain useful tips about your destination.
  • See reviews about hotels. Trivop and TVtrip are two online services that include photos and video reviews from many hotels around the world.
  • Check weather conditions before leaving: you may have to include a raincoat in your suitcase! There are many weather apps available on Softonic.
  • When you’re back, don’t forget to share your pictures with everybody! Use the Flickr photo sharing service or create a web gallery with Picasa and its web albums.
