Travel to Australia

How much spending money to budget for is a difficult question to answer as everyone has their own style and rate of travel spending. Some will go out and shop till they drop spending perhaps 100’s of dollars every day, other will party spending more in bars while again others will spend more money on museum entries and souvenirs, while others yet again will get though on the bare essentials.

Unlike many holiday and vacation operators Contiki includes many extras, sightseeing excursions, meals and highlights as part of the tour, however we do not fill every hour of every day and there is ample free time to enjoy the cities and countries you visit at your leisure.

As a rough guide we suggest budgeting approximately A$80 a day, this will obviously vary depending individual tastes and habits

In order to budget more accurately you should take into account the optional excursions that you may wish to participate in during your tour.

If possible, it’s always better to over estimate how much you may spend and budget for that as if you come across an experience or something you really want to do or have you will have room in your budget, and if you don’t spend the money all the better at the end of the tour.

Frankfurt Travel Hub

Frankfurt on the river Main - or “Mainhattan” as it is lovingly dubbed by the locals - is one of Germany’s biggest and most cosmopolitan cities. It’s located in the heart of the country in the state of Hesse. It’s easy to reach from almost anywhere.

To most people, this city is about tall buildings, cool people and banks. In a way, that’s true. But it’s not the whole truth. If you look a little more closely, you'll find the good spots. I’m going to make that easier for you. So don’t believe the people who tell you it's not worth a visit.

I’ve lived in Frankfurt for many years. I know there’s a lot more to the city than what you see at first glance.

There are picturesque, old districts that invite you for a casual stroll, with cozy apple wine gardens (the city’s equivalent to beer gardens) hidden away in side streets.

And there are parts of the city with the modern, glossy flair of Germany’s financial center. Here are the cool clubs, the parties, the in-locations. Frankfurt is also famous for its trade fairs, most notably the IAA (Automobiles) and the Book Fair – but there are many more that bring hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
