Travel Insurance Saver

A trip to Uzbekistan is like strolling through history. Once key stops along the Silk Road, today the cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are a spellbinding treasure trove of beautifully preserved, centuries-old Islamic architecture – all towering minarets, turquoise tiles and jaw-droppingly ornate mosques. The fruit grown in Uzbekistan is said to be some of the sweetest on Earth – and you can have your fill in the ancient bazaars. Throw in the fantastic hospitality from the locals and you’re set for the trip of a lifetime.

Millions will be flocking to the football this summer. And the message from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is simple: be prepared. Travel hubs, fan zones and stadia are likely to be busy. Really busy. That can quickly begin to feel disorientating if you’re a little uncertain on your plan.

The golden rules are as follows:

- Plan ahead
- Get travel insurance
- Check local laws and customs
- Check entry requirements
- Keep your valuables safe

The FCDO maintains a source of online travel advice that includes the latest safety updates, entry requirements, local laws and customs and much more. And that doesn’t apply just to the USA, Canada and Mexico, but over 225 countries and territories all over the world. It should be everyone’s go-to before heading out on holiday.
