Once you have registered for the trip, here are some considerations on how to customize your vacation.
Take note of the exact Yoga Retreat dates (listed are actual practice dates). Feel free to build your own European vacation around these dates. You can arrive earlier in Europe (UK, France, other cities in Italy, etc.) and then make your way to the specific cities. Alternatively, you can stay after the retreat and visit other places.
Share your expenses on the accommodations. This could be a great way to dramatically bring down your costs. Vacation with your partner, friends or family during your free time but commit to the yoga retreat for the practice and the dinners. If you are coming with another person who is not participating in the yoga practice, I have formulated a food package to include your companion so they get to experience the food adventure.
Google Maps and Google Translate will be very useful. Make sure you have the apps on your phone. Public transportation is very convenient and Google Maps provides very detailed traveling instructions.
It is a good idea to have some Euros on hand for small expenses like tipping, change for the bathrooms, etc.
If you enjoy museums, make sure you purchase your tickets for entry a few weeks in advance. Some museums get booked up a month in advance. If you like tours, make sure to book those in advance too.
Search for YouTube videos on things to do and places to visit. I found them very helpful as preparation on how to get around and where to go.
