Travel guru, Rick Steves, says doing your homework before you leave home will save you time and money. 
Tip 1:  Don't hit the big tourist areas during the peak hours. Either go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, or travel during the off-season.

And find out how much Rick says you should pack no matter if you travel for 7-days or 30-days.
