As for sites and applications to consult, there are so many choices around the web.
Here are the most useful apps and sites:

• N26: a completely free account connected to a German bank that will deliver a card to your home with an IBAN and the possibility of immediate money transfer. You can block and unblock your card from the mobile app and both cash withdrawals and transactions are free worldwide!

• Geosure: an application that colors the streets according to the level of safety. There are various parameters that you can analyze. From safety for women to how LGBTQA friendly a given city is. From crime risk to how many hospitals are nearby.

• Google Maps: not only will you be able to see in advance which routes and roads await you but you will be able, in real time, to find out how to get around, which are the lines and timetables of the means and how to reach local clubs, museums and attractions.

3. Don't you feel ready? Travel alone, but in a group!

Are you still not completely convinced or do you want to go on a long journey to a place full of things to see and are you afraid of missing something or getting bored?
Then the solution could be to rely on a tour operator that organizes entire groups that leave for the same destination and in the same period.
