11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe
11 things to note when traveling to Europe.

4. Tap Water is Drinkable
In most European countries, tap water is not boiled and can be consumed directly. In addition to drinking water from the tap at home, local people also drink water from street water fountains or fountains.
Since everyone's stomach and intestines are different, you have to judge your own risk before drinking. Of all the countries, Swiss tap water seems to be the best because it is the easiest to drink and does not have a bitter taste.
5. Restaurant water is not always free
When you order from a foreign restaurant, the waiter will always ask if you want water. You'll think they're asking for free water, so you'll ask for it. As a result, when you get to pay, you'll see the bill for 3 euros for a glass of water.
This will be the most expensive water you've ever had, and it's tap water. If you don't want to order such expensive water, remember to ask the waiter cheekily if it's free. Because some restaurants charge for water, the average cup is 1-3 euros.
6. Uneven streets
When you first walk down the streets of Europe, you will see that the ground is made up of bricks of different sizes and heights, which is very European.
This is very different from the concrete streets in many countries. However, when you carry your suitcase, it will ruin the romantic European style and you will miss our flat concrete road.
Especially when you are in a hurry, it is very difficult to drag your luggage on the uneven streets. It is recommended that you bring a suitcase of 26 inches or less to Europe, otherwise you will not be able to walk.
7. Train doors requires a button to open
You might be used to the subway doors opening automatically, but some of the subways or trains in Europe do not open automatically.
Usually there is a button or a hand button on the side of the door, and you have to press the button to open it. I guess the reason is to keep the temperature of the train compartment moderate, because it is very cold in winter and a cold wind will blow when you open the door.
In addition, not all passengers get off at every stop, so the doors are opened only when passengers need them, which reduces the number of times the cold wind blows into the car.
But the first time you go there, you won't know you have to press the button and almost won't be able to get off the train.
