1、 Preparation before departure:
1. Please bring your passport, original ID card, air ticket and personal travel supplies
2. Clothes should be prepared according to seasonal changes. The European climate averages 0-5 degrees Celsius in winter and 20-26 degrees Celsius in summer. The temperature difference between morning and evening is about 10-15 degrees. Tourist buses, hotels, restaurants and other places have strong air conditioning. Tourists should wear light and comfortable clothes. There are no special requirements for other occasions except for European opera houses and casinos, which require formal clothes.
3. European hotels do not provide toothbrushes, toothpastes, slippers and other disposable products due to environmental awareness. Passengers should bring them with themselves. Some hotels will use bath liquid, hair conditioner and skin lotion.
4. At present, the RMB cannot be used in Europe, and the Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged in few places. So when you go to Europe, you must bring the US dollar and the euro, and try to prepare as many small US dollar bills as possible, such as 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, etc. for easy use. According to the relevant regulations of China's foreign exchange management, if you do not have a foreign exchange carrying license, Citizens traveling abroad are allowed to carry the amount of foreign exchange equivalent to US $2000 per person or to apply for personal foreign exchange cards at banks to prevent money theft and facilitate consumption; Long-focus cameras and cameras must be declared when they pass the customs, so as to avoid tax on return.
5. Due to the high cost of medicine and the doctor's prescription when buying drugs in European pharmacies, you should bring common drugs with you in case of emergency.
6. Other items to be taken: umbrella, camera, film (expensive in Europe, so it should be taken), battery, sunglasses, proper amount of skin care products, four one-inch ID photos and passport copies (to reissue the travel permit after the protective photo is lost).
7. The voltage used in Europe is 220V, but the socket used is different from the domestic model, so a European type conversion socket (double round socket) must be prepared.
8. You should never put valuables in checked baggage when flying. Cameras and cameras should not be placed in the baggage, nor should you put batteries on the camera in checked baggage. It is recommended that you use a suitcase with wheels to facilitate your carry-on. Large luggage must be checked randomly and safely. After people fly to the final destination to pick up the checked luggage, they must remove the old note on it, in case of misunderstanding during the next check, which will lead to your luggage being transported to the wrong place.
9. Tipping is part of European culture, so please understand the traditional rules of service industry.
2、 Precautions for the journey:
1. Security is the most important issue. European thieves are everywhere, and robbery is also heard from time to time. Therefore, passports, air tickets, money and valuables must be carried close to you, and the satchel should also be carried crosswise, so as not to rob valuables from behind by motorcycle. The most dangerous cities are mainly Paris, Milan and Rome. In case of missing items in the hotel and in the tourist car, the tourists will be responsible for it. The hotel restaurant, lobby and the place where thieves often visit will be the place. In Europe, traffic rules should be observed. Although Europeans rarely run red lights, it is better to be careful when crossing the road.
2. European laws are different from those in China. Drivers must have a 9-hour break and the driving time must not exceed 9 hours. Therefore, drivers who require extra overtime at night may be rejected. If they need to work overtime, they must give tips to each person. Smoking is prohibited in the tourist bus at any time, and no food with skin is allowed, and no ice cream is allowed. The driver is not allowed to turn on the air conditioner when parking because of environmental protection reasons. Otherwise, a fine will be imposed. In addition, when you take a shower in the hotel, do not put water on the floor, or the hotel will be fined $500 accordingly. In short, in foreign countries, do as the Romans do and do not be careless.
3. Passports are generally not checked between EC countries, and borders are almost imperceptible between countries. However, passports must be checked when entering and leaving Europe.
4. In Europe, the breakfast is usually buffet Western food in the hotel. Sometimes it is very simple. Westerners are extremely disgusted with waste of food, which is not racial discrimination. Japanese tourists are generally used to it, but Chinese tourists are sometimes difficult to accept it, because Chinese culture believes that the more dishes, the more noodles.
5. European tap water meets the drinking standard, so the hotel does not provide boiled water, nor does it provide boiled water appliances.
6. Shopping tax refund is a European policy. Some stores give you tax refund on the spot, while some stores need to go to the airport of the last stop country to issue tax refund. In terms of shopping, local products such as diamonds, clogs, chocolate, sheepskin, cheese, windmills and other glass handicrafts can be purchased in the Netherlands, and perfume, leather shoes, fashion, leather bags and other specialties can be purchased in France. It can be seen in Belgium to buy such products as urine children's portrait, Italian leather products, Austria crystal handicrafts, and Germany to buy special products such as two-person knives, Gugu clocks, antique toy guns.
7. There are usually closed-circuit television programs in the hotel, but they all have to pay. Therefore, all buttons marked with "PAY" or "P" on the TV remote control should not be moved. The drinks in the small refrigerator are not free. When leaving the hotel, you should check whether you have forgotten anything. The room key should be returned to the service desk. If you want the bellman to help with your luggage in the hotel, you usually have to pay a tip of 1-2 dollars.
8. In Europe, sometimes you have to tip in the bathroom, which is about 4 yuan. Coca-Cola and other drinks are more expensive than China, and cigarettes are also very expensive.
9. Europe is a model of modern civilization. Hello, thank you, sorry, and other civilized words are not separated from your ears. After you push the door, always check whether there is anyone behind you. If there is someone, hold the door and invite the person behind you to enter the door. Ladies and girls have priority. You are absolutely not allowed to spit, smoke, and litter everywhere. Public places are not allowed to speak loudly. You are not allowed to wear jeans, sports shoes, and collarless shirts when you go to the casino. You do not have to look directly into the other's eyes when you speak, Never jump in the queue. You must queue up in order. In addition, in Europe, you should not ask others about their income, whether they are married, their age, and the price of their purchases. It is not reliable that others are too close. It is better to keep a certain distance.
10. The sofa in some hotels in Europe is a bed. There are quilts and pillows in the cabinet. Some hotels do not have air conditioning because it is not hot at night, but there must be heating.
11. You need to fill in the entry and exit cards of China and Hong Kong. You don't need to fill in the cards in Europe. In Europe, the night is long and the day is short, and the light is only at 8:00 in the morning, and it is dark after 4:00 in the afternoon. Therefore, you must take photos before dark, and the opposite is true in summer.
12. The time difference between Europe and China is six hours in summer and seven hours in winter. The best way to deal with the time difference is to let it go. Everything is subject to the local time. Smoking is not allowed in the washroom on the plane, otherwise you will be prosecuted by law and you cannot throw waste paper on the ground.
