Going to europe, any tips?

[carlise]

heard about pickpocketing and all, is there anything to look out for? TIA! :wub:

unless you know the place, it's best to travel in a group. the pickpockets there are super skilled.

depends on what you want. my friend went for a 10 day europe trip, she felt that it was too rush because they went to one country every day. if you want to really enjoy it's best to spend more time in the place.

buy all the branded things! they are so much cheaper there compared to singapore. save up!!

it's safer to travel in group. and don't display your valuables as they can be eye candy for the pickpockets. but as for my sister's case when she went to Europe several months ago, she didn't experience one. luckily

each time we go to an unfamiliar place, getting paranoid is already a part of us. we put extra attention in looking after our belongings. so i say, whenever we travel, it is really imperative for us to take care of our belongings as we will never know when expert pickpockets attack.

You should probably watch out and keep your belongings with you. Pickpockets are very common in Europe.

read the signs and the map carefully. beware also of dark alleys since theft is very common in europe.

don't entertain people who offer to carry your luggage or to walk you to your room in the hotel because robbery and theft is very common in europe.

stay safe and enjoy as much as you can!

i suggest you research places you want to go first and create an itinerary so that you can visit this places and won't get lost. this is helpful since europe is really big.

 

[ladygretel]

Just don't go with people you do not really know anything about and avoid dark alleys.

 

[girlinlove]

go to street shops and stalls because the products are cheaper.

 

[cuddlyhugs]

Travel in big groups and bring an itinerary with you.

 

[neo2122]

Keep your pockets empty, especially on your rears.

 

[groovybonnie]

If that's the case, then might as well travel in large groups than going there on your own

 

[glitterati]

Yeah. Just be careful of your belongings and important things.

 

[teatime]

Check what the weather would be like so that you'll be going prepared.
