By India Today Information Desk: Who doesn’t love travelling? That too in a European country! If you or anyone you know intend to visit Europe this summer, I’m sure you’ll value any tips that will make your journey safer and more comfortable. In the summer, Europe is one of the most popular tourist destinations, so maybe these suggestions will be useful.
Here are 5 tips before you pack your bags to travel to Europe from India:
1. PLAN YOUR TIME TO VISIT:
The number of days you can take off will have a big impact on whether you can go on a holiday to Europe or any vacation at all. Try to schedule your activities around any upcoming long weekends or holidays by pulling out your calendar. Right here, we have a solution for you.
There are four distinct seasons in Europe, generally divided into four seasons: spring (March to May), summer (June to August), autumn (September to October), and winter (November to February). Although the summer is Europe’s peak travel season, costs and crowds will also be higher than average.
The shoulder seasons (Spring and Autumn) are the best times to travel to Europe because there are fewer tourists and more daylight hours.
2. PACK AN EXTRA BAG:
Pack a tiny, light duffel bag in your carry-on or checked luggage if you anticipate doing a lot of shopping while travelling. In this manner, you can check for an additional bag on the way home if you have too much luggage.
3. ALWAYS KEEP LOCAL CURRENCY:
Although paying in US dollars may appear to be more practical to some. It is always advisable to keep the local currency of the country that you are visiting.
This one tip will save you from various scams that you can be lured into.
4. CLOTHES TO CARRY:
What should you carry for a trip to Europe? This is a query for every traveller’s mind. It is challenging to come up with a standard list of items to carry because every location has its own style and culture, but researching your way through the clothes that people wear in that particular climate can be helpful.
5. FOOD:
You will truly be overwhelmed by the variety of cuisines available in Europe, but they are not always pocket friendly. One good tip is to always eat where the locals do, at inexpensive restaurants and other popular hangouts.
While there are a fair number of Indian eateries throughout Europe, the prices are slightly higher than they are in India. Alternatively, you can save money by purchasing local vegetables from the markets and cooking them yourself.
Except for a few nations, drinking is not frowned upon in Europe. The legal drinking age in Europe is somewhere between 16 and 18, and people there like fine dining.
