Prepare to navigate the concrete jungle
An urban experience can be very rewarding, its like a maze full of wonderful experiences. From meeting different people, sights and sounds. But you need a couple of things sorted before you venture.
- Smart Phone
- Battery Pack
- Small Change
- Good Walking Shoes
These could be enough to get you going comfortably.
Smart Phone
Any smart phone (SP)would do. it does not need to be over the top. But it helps to have a good one, cause it comes with a decent camera on it. I explore with an iPhone.
This can be a life saver, cause a SP can help you find stuff. Google maps to the rescue. This is by far the best app you can use. It has schedules for public transport and also shows important locations around you and how far you are from it and if you get lost. You can find your way back. Apple maps works great if your in the US, but i prefer using google maps.
Coffee Shops Are Your Friends :) . You can give your legs a break and they have free wifi. Take breaks, so that you don’t burn out. Lasting till sunset should be the goal if your going to see any city. A city has two faces, one during the day and the other after sunset. Some cities look spectacular after the sun sets.
