If young people he can check into a hotel?

We received a question from a father whose child teenager wants to go there on holiday. "What does the law say about the lonely journey minors aged 13-18 years? Can they travel alone PKS, train, bus? Can they check- in in hotels / guesthouses (I know that hostels are not the problem)? I one more thing ... Who is responsible, and what, if anything happens while Youth Solo Traveler without a guardian (personal injury, theft, etc) ".Replies: Jacek Sonta, Head of Communications and Public Relations of the Ministry of Interior and AdministrationApplicable in Poland, the law does not prohibit minors traveling alone. It pays to pay attention to the technology. 43 Road Traffic Act, which states that a child up to 7 years, the road can only under the supervision of a person who has reached the age of at least 10 years to use. This provision does not apply to the residential area. In addition, a child under the age of 15, along a road after dark outside built-up is required to use reflective elements in a manner visible to other road users. These provisions do not concern exclusively for pedestrians one street.The law does not apply the use of public transport under 18 ban that. Of childrenTo announce to the question about the possibility of controlling minors in hotels or guest houses that, in accordance with the law on civil registration and identity cards, any person who, in the house or cottage, guest house, hotel, motel, houseboats, Salon hostel, campsite or in guarded campsite is obliged to register for temporary residence within 24 hours after arrival. Exempted from these obligations are only children under the age of 7, when temporary stay does not exceed three months.Regulated separately is the case, in which a minor is involved in a group or tourist recreation camp. If the stay is organized by a public institution or social, trade union or other social organization for young people and not exceed 30 days, the participants are excluded in accordance with the law of the registration obligation.

However, considering Children Traveling around the country - because of travel abroad rather there is no question - offer worth motels and dorms at universities, offering a wide range of rooms especially during the holidays.

Preparation for the road

Ok ... So we really made us what we need to be able to travel from me even on weekends.First try to see the weather - in order to know what to pack. The farther, the better choose warm and light clothing - unless we stay in the Caribbean.But seriously ... When you go to private places, rural tourism is worthwhile with them almost everything - most of these places is not designed for customer service with minimal luggage. Personally, I always choose apartments where I have access to a large amount of towels in the room waiting for me with fresh linens, towels and a hairdryer and toiletries. Similarly, I had the apartment in Krakow, where everything was waiting for me - and I felt like at home.Besides clothes should I packed extra-convenient! a pair of shoes, lingerie store line a backpack. As for me, traveling around the cities of charm receives baggie everything.
