Your Europe Travel Information
Passports & Visas
A passport is required for Europe vacations. A visa is not required for Europeans staying up to three months, and for EU citizens there is no limit. US, Canada and Australia nationals can also stay for up to three months. From most other countries and for longer durations a visa is required, so please check with the Europe Tourist Office for more information.
Europe Currency
Not all European countries use the Euro, so it is important to find out exactly what the monetary unit of your country of destination is.
Here are some examples :
When you know what country you are likely to be visiting, then have a look at the
Currency Converter to see how far your money goes.
Using Your Credit Card
I would always recommend calling your credit card companies before you leave, just to advise them of where you are going. The reason for this? Some credit card companies will block a transaction in a foreign country, as a security measure. This makes sense as it would be a transaction outwith your normal usage behaviour, and it is there to protect you.
Europe Airport Information
Get as much information about your arrival airport as you can. Find out if there are any hand luggage restrictions, car hire and general airport facilities etc. See Airline and Airport Links for all you need to know.

Language Books, Maps & Travel Guides
Depending on where you are going, sometimes a language book can be worth its weight in gold. The simplest phrase, said in the right language can get you what you want or where you want to go, and reduce the chances of you becoming frustrated. The same applies to travel guides. See Maps International for more Europe travel information.
