It's not that Europeans (and Brits) don't care about the customer, it's just that in the US, customers are treated like spoiled children and in other countries, they are treated as grown-ups. The American style of "customer service" is considered rude and overbearing in most of the rest of the world.

Europeans don't like to be disturbed all the time when eating in a restaurant. The waiter should stay away until called. This is very different in America where they come around all the time asking if you need anything etc. Europeans in general don't like that. It's not that we don't like service. We just want service to be available when we indicate we need service.

I was just going to say that you shouldn’t confuse our way of giving service with bad service but I see it’s already been said. In most places I’ve been in Europe, and also here in Sweden we want leave the customer alone so we don’t bother them. If you need something, just raise your hand to the waiter/waitress. Also, Sweden is pretty much cashless so don’t bring too much currency. Over here card is king.

customer service in Europe is not that they dont care, but they have a VERY different way of interacting with the customer, as tips are not really a big thing here (northern Europe at least), as they are paid good per hour, so they dont rush u and kick u out, as soon as u are done, so we can spend 3-4h when out eating and we DO NOT wanna be interrupted, unless we want something from the waiter and then we wave them over...

1 other tip, leave your baseballcap at home or hotel ;-)

My hometown is on the coast and very mountaineous. Always walking steps up and down. Get your legs ready before you come!!

[Akkarri]

I'm from Czechia and it's normal to have up to 100 steps like anywhere. Even those 100+ steps in Spain metro were manageable. But I have to admit, those 400+ steps high towers in Italy was a major pain even for us...

Travel tip: ASK PEOPLE
In most places people Will be gladly and prudly willing to help.
Many people know at least a bit of english, but if not you can always communicate in other ways:
- Most gestures are international
- Again, you have a smartphone. Want something or find some place? Show a picture or a map and people Will help.

10 steps a lot... i live in an apartman house (block house) on the second floor, with a really good elevator. Same in my workplace... not even think about to take the elevator, even after 3-5 package from shop :D Steps are natural ;) (And im not a lightweight people :D )

[janesully]

20 steps is a lot? :D I work on mail delivery on Finland and I do 10k+ steps every day.

From my experience traveling abroad, it was always cheaper to exchange money in your destination country. If you arrive on plane there are always a lot of exchange boots in the airport if you want to. The cheapest option are the local ATMs though. And yes, it's very helpful to research beforehand from which ATMs you can withdraw money without being charged extra fees. These are the two main golden money rules for me when traveling. :) IF you need cash that is. But that's also worth researching. Sometimes paying with your card will get you fees as well, so it's actually better sometimes to have cash in hand if that's the case.

As somebody who does deal with costomers on occasion I just expect basic respect.

The entire thing is just less(keyword, it's still aimed at profits obviously) aimed at profits so if a costomer is an asshole I as an employee can just kick the person out and nobody is going to question me.

The entire thing has more to do with the coorporate side and less with employee and costomers.

Once had a guy who wanted X. I was going to send a price for it to him by mail so he could confirm.

But then I had another costomer walk in to buy basically something worth 70X and so I helped them out thinking I'll send it once I'm done.

An hour later I'm done with them and was going to send the price to him but found a rude mail talking about how I was slow.

So I told him he could find another company to help him.

Nothing worse than a fellow employee allowing those types of people to do business with us because in 90% of the cases we come to regret it anyway.

5% of people give you 90% of the work. The more you can avoid that 5% the better.

Do a little research and ask the card companies about expenses for shopping with cards and withdrawing money abroad so you know which company charges the least fees before you go? In Sweden, Visa and Mastercard with pin numbers are most useful. I don't think you need any cash at all in Sweden? If you happen to end up somewhere where cash is needed, you can always solve it by going to a kiosk and buying a soft drink and asking them to charge the card for more than the soft drink so that you get some cash in hand. Someone will help you.

The building with the scaffolding is the sagrada familia church (Gaudi) in Barcelona. They started building around 1880 and it's still not finished :)

[nancyrafnson]

If you visit some old churches in Europe for example, you can quite often have Many, Many steps!

[TheRogorD]

Consumers in Europe are not Kings or Queens. Consumers in Europe are Emperors and Empresses and should not be bothered every five minutes :D

[stellat]

Don't worry, just ask! Everyone will help, even when it comes to hotel! We love to introduce people with our country, because we love it, and we want everyone to get happy from this place. For example, we took two students who were traveling through our country after a night out to our place for homemade Serbian diner, after that they hit it out to their hotel, and we went to France at their place for homemade food! That is what we do! We love to show our country in best way and make people want to visit it! ❤️

In Austria the ATM rates are really good and they don't charge you for using a different bank. HOWEVER stay away from the Euronet ATMs. Those things are tourist traps and sometimes don't even say euronet, so just make sure your using an actual banks ATM

Travel to Europe tip for americans:
Remember Europe is NOT ONE COUNTRY.
Many things are VERY different from one country to another and even in the same country.
It's better to research a bit about the exact part where you are going.
You are Smart and you have a smartphone, you'll figure It out.

[jenka_]

Before you travel to Europe you NEED to exercise before you go. Walk a lot and use the stairs or you trip will be painful. On a ordinarily day when I are on a trip somewhere I walks between 25000-30000 Streep per day.
