Is it inconvenient to travel to Europe?

Have you ever had trouble finding a bathroom on your way to play abroad? Traveling abroad, in addition to enjoying the scenery, you can't help eating and drinking everywhere. Halfway through shopping, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but I couldn't find a place at the moment. What should you do at this time? There are many "convenient" places to go to the toilet abroad than in Taiwan Province Province, and some public toilets are charged, so going to the toilet has become a "barter" behavior.

In most European countries, public toilets are charged, which is a tradition handed down from the Roman Empire. It is said that similar copper coins were dug near the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, which was also interpreted as a measure to charge for toilets. www.nanhutravel.com

Britain, England

Generally, most public toilets are free. Almost all the British Museum, Cambridge, Oxford, Windsor Castle and Ritz Castle have free public toilets. Usually beside the parking lot, McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and other fast food restaurants also have free toilets.

However, due to the division of areas by counties in Britain, the tax level of each county is different, so some counties with relatively backward construction will implement the system of "coin-operated public toilets", with the cost ranging from 20 to 50p, about NT$ 10 ~ 25 yuan.

Although most toilets in Britain are free, try not to find toilets in Soho, London, because there are 50 million tourists in London every year, especially in Soho, and fast food restaurants such as Burger King nearby are waiting in line to go to the toilet. At this time, the clerk of the fast food restaurant will wait at the door of the bathroom to confirm whether you are eating or buying food here before letting you in. It's inconvenient for tourists, so it's best to take a detour if you want to go to the toilet!

France

In many places in France, you have to invest money to go to the toilet, especially in Versailles, and the cost of going to the toilet is not cheap! The French think that Versailles is a very precious scenic spot for them, and it is very rare for tourists to come here. So the last toilet cost 10 francs, but recently the price was reduced to 5 francs, equivalent to 20 yuan. The toilets in the Louvre are free.

Most tourists think that there are few public toilets in European countries, and it is not easy to find toilets. The tour leader with travel experience said that all coffee shops, fast food restaurants and restaurants are places where you can borrow toilets. In addition, many places in France have independent public toilets, but they also need to be coin-operated.

Lu Yishu said that it is often difficult for tourists to know the location of local public toilets. However, if you join a tour group, the tour leader will take the tourists to the rest stop or the bathroom near the parking lot before the trip begins. Passengers don't have to worry about finding a toilet all day long to hold their urine. The taste is unpleasant.

Germany

Don't worry too much if you have to urinate suddenly on the way, because there are small rest stops next to expressway, and you will pass a rest stop every 5 ~ 10 km. Among the three rest stops, 1 rest stop will be equipped with wooden partition toilets.

Germans have a strong sense of community. Every rest stop is cleaned by members of various community organizations as volunteers, which not only breaks the impression that public toilets are "dirty", but also keeps tourists from holding their urine because they can't find toilets.

Switzerland

Usually there are public toilets near churches, parks, restaurants and restaurants, especially churches and parks. Most of these places are free, and tourists can try to go to these places to go to the toilet. Other coin-operated toilets are about NT$ 4 ~ 5 yuan, which is relatively cheap.

Although most European countries implement the policy of coin-operated public toilets at present, with the increasing government revenue, some countries have begun to switch to free public toilets. Xie Junjie, the leader of Yiyang Travel Agency, said that toilets are free in three quarters of Switzerland. I believe that in a few years, free public toilets should be the trend.
