#FOTW Recommendations : Get the unforgettable holidays in a budget friendly manner by booking hotels and flights well ahead of time. These are peak seasons and booking at the last moment can prove very costly. Renting a car is a must during this season. Visit the city in the night to experience the warm & glistening spirit around X-Mas /New year. Go local shopping, beapart of the local dances & music festivals. Submarine can be costly, you can substitute it with Scooter or Scuba diving. FOTW opted for Submarine as well for a memorable experience. Very small kids are not suitable for water sports, rather different ages are classified for different activities. But for most, small children are not allowed.
