Hi all, I’m doing a 3 month trip (June \~ September) from Europe soon. It’ll be my 4th time visiting the country and 2nd time in the hot and humid summer. I’m a female solo traveler/student on a certain budget and have no driver’s license. I’d appreciate if you could give me any pointers or notice any (big) mistakes I’m making? Or just general recs for places, sights etc.? Even just naming your favorite coffeeshop in the area would be cool!
