There is only one right way to vacation: With meticulous planning and detailed scheduling aimed at making every moment of your trip as good as it can be
Relaxing this hard requires a lot of legwork. Photo: Jewel Samad/AFP via Getty Images Vacations are expensive, and your vacation time is a precious, limited resource. Therefore, there is only one correct way to vacation: with meticulous planning and detailed scheduling aimed at making every moment of your trip as good as it can be.
It is almost never truly necessary to wait in line. At a museum, the long line at the front is usually a line to buy tickets, not a line to enter. Can you buy tickets on the internet or on your phone? Is there a multi-museum pass that will save you both time and money? Guided tours may enrich your cultural experience while allowing you to skip the general-admission line. At the Palace of Versailles, for example, this is well worth the extra €10, but you have to book in advance.
Consider the pros and cons of the various modes: Is Uber widely available and reasonably priced in the city? Do taxis take credit cards? Is there a lovely walk to your next sight that counts as a vacation activity unto itself? I am personally a fan of bike shares even in unfamiliar cities, but consider whether you are the sort of person who finds biking in an unfamiliar city with possibly aggressive drivers to be invigorating or stressful.
