I am traveling from Chengdu to Europe in July this year with a group tour for half a month. I would like to ask, how much euros can I bring at most? Is there an electrical plug converter that can be used on the plane?

First of all, you need to apply for a visa to go abroad. Nowadays, European travel is becoming more and more popular, and European visa deadlines are getting further and further in advance. It is safer to start the relevant procedures six months in advance. Secondly, hotel prices in Europe are generally expensive. For the same price, you can stay in a five-star hotel in China, but you can only stay in a three-star hotel in Europe. In addition, some European etiquette should also be understood in advance.

Precautions for traveling in Europe

1. Preparation for going out

1. The preparation of clothing should be based on seasonal changes. The average temperature in Europe is 0 to 5 degrees Celsius in winter and 20 to 26 degrees Celsius in summer.

In spring, we told our guests from Guangzhou: The current temperature is about 0 to 10 degrees. It is recommended that you bring the following clothes:

A suit, a travel suit, a sweater, some autumn clothes, some underwear, and a jacket for winter in Guangzhou (down jacket or quilted jacket, thin ones) Okay) one piece, one pair of leather shoes and travel shoes.

2. Due to environmental awareness, European hotels often do not have disposable items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, slippers, etc. Tourists should bring their own.

3. The power supplies in Europe are all 220 volts, and the sockets are all round holes. When you bring your own charger, water heater and other electrical appliances, you need to bring your own conversion socket

4. Since in Europe Medicines purchased from pharmacies must be prescribed by a doctor, and medical expenses are expensive, so you should bring commonly used medicines with you in case of emergency.

5. Bring enough film batteries. The film should be ISO400 and the battery should be alkaline batteries or rechargeable batteries. If it is a digital camera, there must be enough memory cards. These things are very expensive to buy in Europe.

6. When going to Europe, be sure to bring some small euro banknotes to avoid the inconvenience of exchange and exchange rate losses.

7. If you want to bring a mobile phone, please go to the local telecommunications bureau to activate the international function before departure.

Second, safety first

Thieves are everywhere in Europe nowadays. Hotel lobbies and restaurants are frequented by thieves. Airports, stations, tourist spots and even gas stations are all places where thieves show off their skills. Robbery, theft and fraud happen all the time. The most dangerous cities are mainly Rome, Milan, and Paris. For those who are not vigilant enough to take precautions, it can be said that there is no safe place in Europe, so you must be vigilant at all times and everywhere. Passports, air tickets, money and valuables must be carried with you. When walking, it is best to carry your bag cross-body to avoid being robbed from behind by gangsters on motorcycles. Be careful that gangsters rob you from behind. You must take your valuables with you when leaving the tour bus, hotel, or restaurant.

Don’t use briefcases or bags that you hold with your hands, and don’t put bags, briefcases, cameras, etc. on the ground when taking photos.

When crossing the road, watch the traffic signals and don’t run through the red lights.

Be wary of fake police officers trying to steal things under the pretext of inspection.

3. Flying

1. Checked baggage must not exceed 20 kilograms, and carry-on baggage must not exceed 22 inches X 14 inches X 4 inches.

2. You must not put valuables in checked baggage when flying. Cameras and camcorders are also not allowed to be put in checked baggage, and cameras and batteries are not allowed to be put in checked baggage. Passports are also not allowed in checked luggage.

3. Please abide by the laws of each country, and it is strictly prohibited to carry profit-making private goods and illegal items.

4. Smoking is allowed only in smoking rooms or smoking areas at the airport, please note.

5. If the red light on the airplane shows NO SMOKING, it means no smoking, and FASTEN SEAT BELT means fasten your seat belt. Please be sure to abide by it.

6. After receiving your checked baggage, be sure to remove the old strip on it to prevent misunderstandings the next time you check in your baggage, causing your baggage to be transported to the wrong place.

7. Do not smoke in the cabin toilet.

4. Stay at the hotel

1. When arriving at the hotel, please wait at the counter lobby to be assigned a room number and key, and pay attention to getting a business card about the hotel you are staying in from the tour guide (content: hotel name , address, contact number, etc.) 2. Some hotels in Europe do not have air conditioning because it is not hot at night, but they have heating. The water in the restroom is drinkable. Due to environmental awareness, European hotels often do not have disposable items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers, and tourists should bring their own.

3. Most European hotels have shower facilities. Do not overflow the bath water. If the carpet is soaked, the hotel will ask the guest to compensate.

4. Please close the door when going out and do not leave valuables in the room. You will be responsible for the consequences of loss.

5. There is a service fee for making calls in the hotel, so do not make calls easily. You can use magnetic cards or coin-operated phones outside the hotel.

5. Take a car

Tour bus: Please remember the car name, color, driver's name, contact number, and car number to avoid missing the car.

To protect the safety of drivers and guests, European traffic laws stipulate that drivers must sleep for more than 10 hours a day and work for no more than 12 hours. Therefore, drivers who are asked to work overtime at night are often refused.

Europe has a strong awareness of environmental protection. In order to avoid air pollution, the law stipulates that drivers are not allowed to turn on the air conditioner when parking, otherwise they will be fined.

You are not allowed to eat ice cream, bring food with peels, smoke, etc. in the car. You are not allowed to take off your shoes in the car. Because you have to walk to visit places every day, your feet are prone to sweating and smelly, and the car is In a closed space, odors tend to linger inside the car. We ask for your cooperation.

In order to protect long-term tourism, many tourist local authorities in Europe do not allow parking or only allow getting on and off. This will cause some distance between the parking place and the tourist area, or you must move quickly when getting on or off. One thing, I would like to ask for your cooperation in all aspects. When getting on or off the bus, please inquire clearly about the gathering time and the parking location of the tour bus.

Six, other trivial matters

Etiquette and courtesy Europe is a model of modern culture and civilization. "Hello", "Thank you", "I'm sorry" and other civilized words are constantly heard. Please pay attention after opening the door. If there is someone behind you, hold the door open and invite the people behind you to come in. Ladies have priority; spitting, smoking, and littering are absolutely not allowed. Do not speak loudly in public places. Avoid jumping in line when queuing.

It is strictly forbidden to enter the church with bare chest and back. The use of flash cameras is prohibited in churches and museums.

What to do if you spit? Spit on a tissue and flush it down the toilet when you go to the toilet.

Passport check Generally, there is no need to check passports between European countries, but passports must be checked when entering and leaving Europe. For shopping tax refunds, some stores offer tax refunds on the spot, while others require tax refunds at the airport of the last stop country. You must follow the advice of the tour leader, otherwise you will suffer losses if you cannot get a tax refund.

Using the toilet There is also a fee to use the toilet in Europe. You should carry some coins with you, which is equivalent to about 2.5-5 yuan. The toilets in McDonald's are basically free and easy to find, so tourists can make full use of them.

Time difference The time difference between Europe and China in summer is 6 hours. At 12 noon European time, your family is preparing for dinner---6 pm. 7 hours in winter, 12 noon European time, your family is having dinner - 7 pm.
