Know Before You Go

Most shops close on Sundays. Restaurants may offer limited Sunday hours. ​

 

Validate paper train tickets when required. While many tickets are now digital, some paper regional train tickets still need validation before boarding. Always check the ticket instructions.

 

​Carry a contactless payment method. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's helpful to have a small amount of euros for markets, cafes or public restrooms.

​

Pickpocketing is common. Especially around major tourist attractions, train stations or public restrooms.​​

 

Museums often close one day each week. Check hours before planning your itinerary.
