South Africa’s undisputed beauty makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and the country is currently preparing for an influx of visitors from across the globe for this summer’s FIFA World Cup .

Unfortunately, however, South Africa has been hampered by a reputation for crime that instills fear amongst travellers that is both disproportionate and unnecessary. The reality is that whilst many of the country’s urban centres – notably Cape Town and Johannesburg – do have relatively high crime rates, there is no reason to be unduly concerned as long as you take the appropriate precautions.

Most of these are the same precautions you should take when visiting any unfamiliar territory. Namely, taking taxis rather than walking home late at night, avoiding ostentatious displays of material wealth, and trying to move around in groups rather than alone.

Another important tip for South Africa World Cup visitors is to always ensure your 2010 accommodation is sorted before you arrive in a city. Due to the vast numbers visiting the country for the tournament, hotels, hostels, B&Bs and camp sites will fill up quickly, and the last thing you want is to be left without a bed for the night and the prospect of sleeping on a park bench or in a shop doorway.

The safest way to travel across South Africa is by using one of the myriad of established and reputable tour operators who will provide you with a vehicle and a driver. However, if you are on a budget and intend to travel between cities by bus, be sure to place all valuables in your luggage, rather than anywhere that can be reached while you sleep.

Those planning to hire a car are likely to hear and read horror stories of car-jacking. This is actually a rare occurrence, and only really happens in busy cities like Johannesburg. However, vigilance is still required, and drivers are advised to always keep car doors locked. It is also recommended that – so long as it is safe to do so – you avoid stopping at traffic lights late at night. South African police will not treat this as a driving offence.

For visitors intending to spend their entire trip in one city, the standard advice applies. Avoid walking anywhere late at night, particularly if you’ve been drinking, and always plan your journey home before you head out for the evening. If possible, pre-book a registered taxi to take you back to your accommodation at the end of the night.

To reach the World Cup stadiums, visitors should make use of the shuttle buses that will be put on by tournament organisers and will operate from several points across each city. Alternatively, for those hiring a car, there will be park-and-ride schemes to help you on your way.

A safe spot to congregate before and after matches will be the official FIFA Fan Zones that will be set up in every host city across the country. These well-policed venues will allow fans to watch games live on big screens, and enjoy an array of entertainment options.

Above all else, enjoy yourself. This is a country with so much to offer, and you don’t want to spend your entire trip looking over your shoulder. Keep your wits about you, lap up the stunning scenery, and you’ll depart with nothing but incredible memories. Have a great World Cup!

Four teams are left in the battle to reach the Champions League final in Rome. Now is the right time for fans of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelona to start looking at how to travel to the game.

Last years final in Moscow proved to be an expensive trip and complex trip. Chelsea and Manchester United hans had to content with Visa’s, long flights (or very long drives!) and hard to come by hotels. Unfortunately MATCHhotels.com does not cover Russia yet so we could not help either!

Rome is a different scenario altogether. It’s in Europe making it much easier to get to with regular flights and there are lots and lots of hotel options. Fans faced with a £1000+ bill for Moscow can visit Rome’s Stadio Olympico for just a few hundred pounds. Here is how:

Flights

Compare flights at diyflights.com to search over 500 airlines and flight websites in one go. Most fans will travel to the game the day of the match and return the day after. Travel out a day earlier and back a day later to save money on the flights. The money you save can pay for extra nights in a Rome hotel enjoying the phenomenal architecture and sights of the eternal city.

Hotels

Visit Olympic Stadium hotels on MATCHhotels.com to see a map of Rome hotels near the stadium. Enter your travel dates to compare prices from lots of hotel websites in one go. If you widen the search distance (click “Search Filters” button) you will see hotels, apartments and bed and breakfast accommodation that is slightly further away but also significantly cheaper.

Tickets

With flight and hotel sorted, you just need a ticket. Your club is the best place to buy but you can also visit viagogo.com, seatwave.com and other ticket websites who are sure to be selling tickets for the biggest game of 2009.

Travel to the Game

To help West Brom and Portsmouth fans make the most out of this big occasion, we have researched the best ways to see the game and enjoy a weekend in London. We have looked at hotels near Wembley Stadium and in central London which will help supporter make the most of their London trip. We based our research on West Brom and Portsmouth fans spending a weekend in London from Friday through to Sunday – this gives fans time to get to The Big Smoke and enjoy London sights and nightlife before or after the game before heading back to Yorkshire or Cardiff.

Both these hotels are very close to Wembley stadium and provide great access to the venue. It is worth noting however that there is very little to do around the stadium and we would advise anyone visiting London and not just the stadium, to stay in central London and commute to Wembley on matchday.

Central London Hotels

There are hundreds of hotels to choose from in Central London, giving easy access to to all the major attractions, bars, restaurants and clubs. If you are a Portsmouth fan and you arriving by train staying in a London Waterloo hotel is convenient. For West Brom fans arriving by train then it is just as easy to find hotels near Kings Cross or Euston are suitable and easy to get to straight off the train. Nightlife lovers should look at London Piccadilly hotels for bar and club action. Piccadilly is also handy as the tube runs direct from Piccadilly Circus to Wembley Central on the Bakerloo Line.

All three of these destinations give easy access to Wembley through Londons Underground system.

If driving from either West Brom or Portsmouth make sure that your hotel has car parking facilities as it is nearly impossible to park in Central London due to parking restrictions. Car parking is expensive and there is also the congestion charge is £8 per day (only applicable for Friday).

On the weekend of the 5/6th April 2008 Barnsley face Cardiff City, two underdogs that have fought their way to within one game of the FA Cup final. This classic encounter embraces the true spirit of the FA Cup and means that for the first time since 2004 the final will have a team from outside the Premiership in it. Will Barnsley be able to live up to the heroics that brought them victories over Liverpool and Chelsea and continue this glory run, or will Cardiff make it to their first final since 1927 and become the pride of Wales. This is a match for all football supporters to enjoy and should not be missed.

Travel to the Game

To help Barnsley and Cardiff City fans make the most out of this big occasion, we have researched the best ways to see the game and enjoy a weekend in London.

Both of the above hotels are within a mile of Wembley stadium and provide great access to the venue. However there is very little to do around this area and we would advise that you stay in a central London hotel to make the most of your weekend as there is an endless amount of things to do and it is an easy commute to the stadium on matchday.

Central London Hotels

There are literally thousnds of hotels to choose from in Central London, giving easy access to to all the major attractions, bars, restaurants and clubs.

If supporters are arriving by coach then Victoria Coach Station is Londons central coach stop where both sets of fans should arrive.

We would not recommend driving to London by car – car parking is hard to find and expensive. If you do decide to drive  make sure that your hotel has car parking facilitiesand beware the congestion charge which is £8 per day (only applicable for Friday).

Euro 2008 Travel Guide > Letzigrund Stadion

This guide to Zurich and Letzigrund Stadion has been written for football supporters visiting Ernst Happel Stadium during Euro 2008. Discover how to make the most out of a trip to watch the European Championships whether you are visiting for the day or staying overnight in one of the many hotels in Zurich, Switzerland.

About Zurich

Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland, clocking in with almost 400,000 residents and nearly 1 million in the city limits and surrounding area. However, contrary to popular belief, it is not the capital city (Geneva is the Swiss Capital). Zurich is in the north of Switzerland and plays host to three games during Euro 2008.

Zurich is known for its quality of life. Contrary to what many think, it has a nice climate that ranges between 9 and 29 degrees Celsius (50 to 85 Fahrenheit) throughout the year. It is also considered one of the planet’s most international cities with most citizens able to speak in several tongues including German, Italian, English and French. The city has long been known for its cultural touches and its clean, efficient mannerism, however in recent years it has become an extremely popular European center thanks to the heavy emphasis on these societal aspects plus the additions of party hot spots and gastronomic delights. Visitors to Zurich should bring a pretty penny to spend on Swiss watches, chocolates and even Swiss Army Knives!

The Zurich Airport (Flughafen Zurich) is the largest and busiest in all of Switzerland.  Following along with the Swiss tradition of efficiency, the airport is a simple 10 minute ride into Zurich Hauptbahnhof (main station) by S-Bahn (rail) and nearly every hotel provides a shuttle bus to and fro for their guests.

Where to Stay in Zurich

Euro 2008 fans looking to stay in hotels near Letzigrund Stadion should look at the Crowne Plaza Zurich which is only 400 metres from the stadium. Or if you would like to stay in a central Zurich hotel then try either the Schweizerhof Zurich or the Widder Hotel botth are excellent hotels and are in Tripadvisors top 5 Zurich hotels.

About Letzigrund Stadion

The Letzigrund Stadion was originally opened on February 22nd 1925 nad has gone uder extensive remodelling ever since, the ground plays host to three games during Euro 2008, has a capacity of 30,000 and is home to FC Zurich during the Swiss club season. The Stadium was opened in it’s latest format on 30th August 2007 and the first ever football match there was the local derby between FC Zürich vs. Grasshopper Club Zürich on September 23rd 2007.

Euro 2008 Travel Guide > Ernst Happel Stadium

This guide to Vienna and Ernst Happel Stadium has been written for football supporters visiting Ernst Happel Stadium during Euro 2008. Discover how to make the most out of a trip to watch the European Championships whether you are visiting for the day or staying overnight in one of the many hotels in Vienna, Austria.

About Vienna

Vienna, Austria was first founded in 500 BC as a Celtic settlement. Vienna is the capital city of Austria and is also the site of seven Euro 2008 games including the final. The city is by far the largest in Austria with a population of just under two million and is also the economic and political centre of the country. The city is in the east of the country and is situated close to the Czech, Slovakian and Hungarian borders.

Vienna is known for its food and drink, particularly for its Wiener schnitzel, breweries, vineyards and cafes. The homemade wines and beers are served in pubs known as Heuriger, where visitors can order a sample of Wiener schnitzel, which is nothing more than pounded veal that is coated in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs and then fried to perfection. The cafes around the city are renowned and some date back centuries. Even if visitors do not have a caffeine addiction, do not want to consume alcoholic beverages and certainly don’t want to stuff themselves with fried foods, the city’s Naschmarkt is a permanent market that is filled with fresh fruits, veggies, spices, fish, meats and speciality foods from all over the world.

The Vienna International Airport is the busiest in Austria. When it was built in 1938 it only had one small terminal but two additional ones have been added since. Its runways can handle large capacity aircraft like the Airbus A340 and the airport serves destinations across Europe and Asia. Vienna International Airport is 11 miles (18kms) southeast of the city and has a city airport train that runs every half an hour straight into Vienna city centre to the Landstrasse/Wien Mitte station. Journey time is about 15 minutes and the train costs 9.00 euros one way.

Where to Stay in Vienna

Euro 2008 fans looking to stay in hotels near Ernst Happel Stadium should look at the Hilton Danube which is only 800 metres away. However we recommend that you stay in the city centre for easy access to noth the stadium and the cities bars, restaurants and sights. Why not stay in either the K&K Hotel Maria Theresia or the Altstadt Vienna – both are in TripAdvisors top 10 Vienna hotels and give great access to both the city centre and the Ernst Happel Stadium. To find and reserve Vienna hotels use the MATCHhotels hotel price comparison service to find cheap Vienna accommodation.

The Ernst Happel Stadium is the largest  football stadium in Austria with a capacity of 53,008. Ernst Happel is the home of the Austrian national football team. The stadium was opened in 1931 and was named the Prater Stadium until 1992 when it was renamed the Ernst Happel Stadium in honour of Ernst Happel following his death. You may like to note that the address is Meiereistraße, Wien, 1020, Austria.

Getting to Ernst Happel Stadium

The Ernst Happel Stadium is in the heart of Vienna’s 2nd District in an area that is known as Prater (stadium was originally named Prater Stadium). When travelling from Vienna city centre to Ernst Happel Stadium you can either take the number 80 or 84A buses which go direct to the stadium. However the easiest way to get to the ground from Vienna city centre is by taking the U1 Subway to Praterstern and then tram number 21 to the stadium.

After the Match

There are many great restaurants and bars in Vienna to keep you occupied during your time there. For traditional Viennese food try Augustinerkeller near the Karlsplatz underground station, it is open until midnight each day and serves numerous hot and cold dishes along with great local wines.
