Eastern Europe Vacation Tips
Just because most Europeans speak English, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look up some basic native language phrases. The locals will appreciate your effort and you might even make a friend!
Don’t convert your currency at the airport. Wait until you get to your hotel or a local currency exchange place.
Make sure you carry some cash as not all places will take credit cards (especially the smaller businesses).
Support locals and shop at family businesses. You’ll be making a bigger difference for these families.
If your tour package does not include a specific attraction you want to visit, make sure you buy your tickets in advance.
Try to walk as much as you can to take in the area and destination.
If you’re planning to walk for most of your trip, make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing.
If you’re from the USA, you’re probably used to free water and bread in restaurants. European restaurants do not do this. You’ll pay for everything you ask for.
