What should I pay attention to when going to France, Italy and Switzerland?

Based on my personal experience of studying and living in Europe for many years, I will give you the following tips for your reference:

Pay attention to when going to France:

1) Try not to go to Moulin Rouge or near the north of Paris at night, because the public security is not good;

2) Try not to hang an expensive camera on your body, which is easy to be robbed or targeted (the same is true in Italy).

3) Pay attention to your belongings when buying one. Not everything in France is of good quality, but there are fewer fakes.

4) You can get a tax refund if you go shopping in Paris. Don't forget.

Attention to going to Italy:

1) This is the worst public security in the three places, so be sure to take good care of your belongings.

2) Many private businesses in Italy sell some fake and shoddy goods, and it is also common to cheat customers. No matter which city you go to in Italy, you must buy expensive things in big stores, and don't just listen to the tour guide's bluff.

3) Be sure to make a counter-offer when buying tourist souvenirs such as Bota.

4) The general charge for public toilets is around 0.5- 1 Euro, so you should always keep the change.

Switzerland, please note:

1) The public security there is better, so don't be too nervous.

2) It will be more convenient to change some Swiss francs in advance, and euros cannot be used in most places.

3) If you want to go to the snow-capped mountains or something, you must pay attention to your physical protection, wear warm clothes and drink warm drinks in advance, or you will get sick easily.

4) If you want to buy Swiss army knives, please try to buy them in regular stores.

5) Swiss watches are the biggest specialty and can be bought in France or Italy.

Others:

1) These three places need to be replaced with plugs, so you should prepare in advance.

2) If you don't take off your shoes in a hotel in Europe, you must be prepared. If you don't join the tour group, you should also prepare your own toiletries (for tour groups, it should be unnecessary). They usually contact hotels run by China people or have long-term cooperation, but the shoes are still not available)

3) Unlike the United States, not all places in Europe can use credit cards, and some places can't even use China credit cards, so you need to prepare advanced ones, especially small change. Many places do not accept large face value euros (such as 100 euros or more).

4) I don't think there is anything special to pay attention to in etiquette. French and Italians have strong English accents, so you may not understand the way. It is best to prepare a multilingual electronic dictionary, or ask Chinese on the way.

5) Be wary of some strangers who are particularly enthusiastic, although some elderly people are enthusiastic about tourists.

6) There is no need to pay special attention to etiquette. After all, it is to play and contribute to their GDP. Just one thing, Europeans generally don't open umbrellas in the sun, so do as the Romans do (it's convenient to take care of your belongings without an umbrella).

7) Cosmetics don't have to be bought locally, and it won't be much cheaper than the duty-free shops at the airport on the plane or at home (although the tour guide will tell you it's much cheaper). The key point is that it is only cheaper than airport duty-free shops 10 RMB, which has always been inconvenient.

For now, I think you will have your own shopping strategy. Ask me if you have any questions:)
