Stadsadvies

Manieren om te besparen

Remember to check restaurant and cafe bills.

If a bill shows 'Service Charge included' don't tip. The service charge already covers that. It's usually 12.5%
Reizen met kinderen

Public transport is free for under-11s.

So don't stress....
Reizen met kinderen

Buses have space for buggies.

Do use the buses: you can see everything from the upper decks which make for a great viewing platform once you've tackled the stairs.
Vervoersmogelijkheden

The tube is the fastest most reliable way of getting around

BUT - try at all costs to avoid rush hours... Remember too that many of the stations have lifts or stair-free access. Staff are on hand to help.
