What do you need to prepare for a trip to Europe?

Recently, Polish, Hungarian and Czech countries 10 have been added as tourist destinations for China tourists, making a European travel feast more attractive. It is reported that China tourists have entered the final preparation stage of their trip to Europe, and the day when the travel agency formally organized a group is close at hand. While waiting for good news, tourists may wish to do their homework in Europe: What should they pay attention to when traveling in Europe?

1, consumption (keywords: foreign exchange, tax refund, discount card)

● Most European countries adopt the euro. Dollars, Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged locally, and there are many foreign exchange points, all of which are exchanged at current prices, but RMB cannot be exchanged.

● Europe has tax refund regulations for shopping by non-European citizens. China citizens can get cash on the spot (about 100%) at the airport when they shop in the above-mentioned national stores and buy a certain amount (slightly different between countries, about100 euros).

● Many countries in Europe have cheap cards for sale. For example, if you buy a Vienna card, you can enjoy a 10% discount on tickets and museums. There are also preferential subway cards. VISA card: it is recommended to use an international VISA card when shopping, which can avoid the differences caused by exchange rate fluctuations. If cash is used, it is not cost-effective to deduct 10% handling fee during exchange. If you have a VISA card, there is no such problem.

2. Diet (Keywords: cold food, cold water)

● Europeans eat buffet in the morning. The staple food is bread, milk, coffee, oranges and black tea, as well as butter, jam, ham and fruit commonly used in western food. But except for some hot milk and tea, the food is cold.

● Europeans don't drink hot water, and hotels don't provide boiled water. Usually, they drink water directly from the tap in the bathroom, so people in China are uncomfortable. Those who drink boiled water to make tea must bring their own electric kettle.

3. Communication (Keywords: international roaming card)

● When traveling to Europe, it is recommended that mobile phones use SMS (each 4 yuan RMB) for communication. If you make a phone call, you can buy an international roaming card of a domestic communication company. 100 yuan can be used for 30 to 40 minutes.

4. Electricity (Keywords: socket)

● The voltage in most European countries is the same as that in China, and electrical appliances can be used universally. However, the power socket does not match the plug of household appliances, so it is very important to go to a professional electrical appliance store to buy a conversion socket first.

5. Camera (Keywords: film, battery)

● When traveling to Europe, if you use an ordinary camera, you must bring more film and batteries. If you use a digital camera, please bring enough memory cards. Because this commodity is very expensive in Europe.
