General information

A Safe Trip Abroad
The U.S. State Department gives basic tips on avoiding problems overseas. Also see the department's Consular Information Sheets, but remember that warnings may be influenced by political considerations. (Note: These poorly-designed pages will open in a new browser window to keep you from getting trapped on the State Department's Web site.)

Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel
Some experts think the British government's warnings and advice on travel in 200+ countries are less tainted by politics than their American equivalents.
