Planning To Travel To Brazil For The 2014 World Cup

For fans of Soccer and Brazil, the 2014 World Cup is an event that cannot be missed. Taking place over a month from June to July next year, the soccer [or football, as it’s called in the rest of the world] world cup will bring all the international teams together again for the first time since 2010, where Spain went from being the underdogs to the world champions.

The tickets go on sale at the beginning of November so for everyone who doesn’t want to spent a shitload of money at the last minute, mark your calendars so you can be the first to grab tickets at their lowest prices. The prices will be spaced accordingly, based on which stage of the tournament the game is at, which city the game will be played in, and what date it will take place. Obviously, semi-finals and the final will be the more expensive games, so just be prepared.

For those who have never traveled to a country while they’ve been hosting the world cup [of any sport], then be prepared for pandemonium. The city [and country] will be overrun by tourists, and hotels will have jacked up prices by 200% or more. Hopefully, there will be a ban on vuvuzelas this time around, but don’t think that you will ever be able to escape the noise – even if you’re staying in the most soundproof hotel room in the entire city.

Everything will be more expensive than it normally is, so don’t think that the ticket prices and travel will be your only expenditure. And lastly, try to enjoy the country while attending the matches. Brazil is an absolutely beautiful country with a very rich culture, and each city has its own individual imprint. Try to book matches in different cities, which will allow you to travel a bit more and enjoy the country.

Lastly, be safe. World Cups of this magnitude are always a target for terrorist activity and although security is sure to be tightened, just make sure that you take all necessary security precautions.
