That is useful, thanks. There is a weight limit of 2kg however.

You can take the guitar on the plane with airlines that have special arrangements for musical instruments. As an aside airlines also do this for sports goods, like skis, golf bags, hockey sticks, etc.

You could try overseas moving companies, like Santa Fe. Although expensive you should be able to class your stuff as personal effects. Using a courier you can get hit for import duty, even on second hand goods.

The other reliable alternative, for the more valuable stuff, is to find an airline with a generous pre-booked excess baggage allowance. If you book your excess baggage in advance, it is much cheaper. As excess baggage, there is no import duty. If you are going to do excess baggage, make sure you buy through tickets (even if you have a transfer it is one booking).

As well as generous excess baggage, get a coat with generous pockets. I once flew with about 7 kg of small heavy items in my pockets.
Then send any clothes by post.

If you are going to ship/courier, it might cost more to ship some stuff than buying new in Europe.

Because of the Metro Line 5 opening in our area, we have just gained another 3 bus services in our area. We live in a area a little off the beaten track, before we only had one bus.
It may be worth regular commuters, who live near line 5, checking to see if they have picked up any new bus routes.

Yes. A schematic map is only useful to find your way on the system that is mapped. For most tourists and strangers to the system, a map that relates to what is on the ground (above) is much more useful.

I could be mistaken but the I thought that the metro lines used to be shown on Googlemaps. But not any more apparently.
