Reasonable prices
Sometimes, one of the biggest challenges for travelers is expensive destinations.

Accommodation is one of the most important things to deal with first, and here is a complete guide for where to stay in Prague.
Low crime rates
Crime rates is an issue that affects tourist numbers in a given destination. Every tourist wants to leave their holiday destination with all their belongings, just as they had brought them, and that is why people always check crime rates before visiting a destination.

Transportation
There is nothing more stressful than poor transportation especially in a place you are not familiar with.
