What projects have you prepared for the trip to Britain, France and Switzerland?

I. Preparatory work

Prepare electric kettle, visa credit card, some euro cash with a denomination of no more than 200, prepare as much change as possible, and bring enough pickled mustard tuber, dried radish, instant noodles and other foods.

Second, European accommodation.

Residhome Hotel Seine Saint-Germain on the outskirts of Paris is great, and the rest of the hotels are terrible. Especially the hotels in Italy, the difference is simply! We 13 live in four stars, but the four stars in Italy are similar to the two stars in China. In addition, valuables were either taken away by us or locked in boxes when staying. Our team's belongings were stolen in the hotel, in the ARIS Garden in Rome. In addition, the quilts in European hotels are very thin and can only be tolerated. You don't have to travel with a quilt. ...

Third, water.

Europeans don't drink hot water, and our hotels are not equipped with hot water bottles. Don't believe the myth that European water can be drunk directly, and orientals can't drink it! Tap water in Switzerland is drinkable. French and Italian tap water is worse than that in China. The water boiled and poured out, and there were many white particles suspended in the water, which was terrible. It is absolutely necessary to bring your own electric kettle. Especially during the whole day's trip, either buy mineral water or drink tap water from the toilet ... goo ~ ~ (╯╰) b ...

Fourth, shopping.

At this point, it is recommended to buy a saber with letters in Switzerland. This is a souvenir for the distinguished guests when the new president of the United States takes office. Highly recommended!

1, watches, fashion watches or buy in Paris, brand watches, mainly depends on the Swiss franc exchange rate, the exchange rate is low, Switzerland buys, the exchange rate is high, and France buys.

2, Chanel, Dior, LV and other brands that never discount, it is recommended to buy in Paris, the location is of course Lafayette or Paris Spring.

3.prada and miumiu were both bought in "space", which is located at an exit of the expressways in Rome and Florence. Everyone tips the driver 5 euros, or the tour guide 50 yuan. Please also ask the tour guide to take you to this outlet. Prada and miumiu are basically 50% off, and some small scraps are 30% off. Handbags, wallets, winter and summer clothes, belts, scarves and jewelry are all available. After coming here, you will never buy prada and miumiu at the original price again!

Gucci, Todd, Ferragamo and Hermes can all be bought in Rome. There is a boutique street on the Spanish steps in Rome, with a wide range of things. The boutique in Milan's church square is average and can be ignored.

5. Finally, open a tax refund form after shopping and try to open the company GLOBE BLUE. Also, be sure to ask the tax refund point for an envelope. If you buy enough things, some things need to be checked. Don't make the checked things and things carried on the plane into tax refund forms. Our tour guide didn't say anything at first, which led me to pack up at the airport for a long time ... many valuables could only be checked, and I was very nervous.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) tax refund

This thing is too complicated, but it is very important. Listen to me. In the future, tax refund means money refund. You need a visa credit card as a guarantee. Then you have two choices. You can choose to bring cash or pay by credit card. It is recommended to withdraw cash. After all, cash is the most reliable. The tour guide said that it is not reliable to put it on the credit card.

In France, a one-time purchase of more than 150 euros on the same day can be refunded. Credit card consumption, tax refund 12%, cash 10.8%.

In Switzerland, a one-time purchase of more than 300 Swiss francs on the same day can be refunded. Tax refund is very convenient When you pay for shopping, you can deduct the duty and pay directly, and you can stamp it in case of any situation.

In Italy, a one-time purchase of more than 155 euros on the same day can be refunded, by credit card or cash 12%.

You can get cash at Galeries Lafayette, Paris Spring or tourist shopping spots. You need to stamp at the airport, and then mail the stamped documents. The rest of the shopping places need to be stamped at the airport to withdraw money.

Then introduce the airport tax refund in detail.

I didn't buy much, so I took it on the plane, checked it, stamped it, withdrew money, and then went to the duty-free shop to shop.

If you buy a lot of things, some of which need to be checked, after registration, take the box to the stamp, confirm the items, and then stamp and check. Then enter the airport, stamp the tax refund form for the goods carried on the plane, withdraw money, send a letter and go to the duty-free shop. ...

Comparison of shopping prices between Europe and Hong Kong

Bags: 50% to 60% discount in Europe and 70% to 20% discount in Hong Kong.

Shoes: 50% off in Europe and 30% to 20% off in Hong Kong.

Table, Europe is similar to Hong Kong.

But the advantage of Europe is that it has an export called space, which is awesome! It is said that all the other dealerships can't buy anything good.

Seven. Italy

On this trip, we went deep into Italy and visited Milan, Florence, Venice and Rome. In my opinion, Italy does not deserve to be called a developed country at all, and some of its characteristics are similar to those of domestic tourist cities.

In the square of Milan Cathedral, pigeons were forcibly fed. Do not take it. I won't leave if I take it. You can't kick him out without 5 euros.

There are no public toilets in Italy, so you can only find McDonald's as a free toilet, or go to a coffee shop to buy the cheapest coffee 1.5 euros, and then go to the toilet.

Some sell roses, and some raise money at famous scenic spots. Ignore them.

Besides, Italians are famous for their laziness. Their restaurant is open from 12:30 to 15:40, and their shop doesn't open until noon 1 1.

It is said that this is very common in southern Europe. No wonder the financial crisis, their countries went bankrupt one by one, so lazy, it is unreasonable not to go bankrupt.

Venice and Rome, the scenery is good, the shopping environment in Rome is ok, and the boutique has a Chinese shopping guide. Milan is just like Florence. Milan is the financial center of Italy, which is far from Shanghai. ...
