AVOID DISPLAYING YOUR CAMERAInstead, take a messenger bag or backpack and keep your camera in there when you're not using it. When you see a photo opportunity pull it out, take your pictures, then when you're done put it away.
Europeans almost never wear sweatpants or yoga pants out on the street, and even white athletic socks aren't too common. A sweatshirt or hoodie isn't a complete no, depending on the city and your age, but aim for smart casual instead if you want to look closer to the average pedestrian.
Try to blend in.Speak quietly and don't draw attention to yourself. Don't behave like a tourist, and be polite and courteous. You probably won't fool people thinking that you're European for long, but you can leave them with a good impression of yourself.
Summer resorts and beachesThe mild climate during the whole year and the extensive sandy beaches of the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean as well as of its two archipelagoes (the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands respectively) have been attracting tourists from Northern Europe for decades.
Versatile, Light Weight and Neutral ClothingOpt for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk. Pack mix-and-match pieces like neutral-colored shorts, skirts, and trousers that can be paired with different tops. Don't forget to include a few dresses for evenings out.
Skip the baseball caps, white socks, sneakers, large colorful backpacks, and fanny packs. Instead, opt for dark skinny jeans, plain shirts without logos, and leather shoes. Use tote bags or earth-toned simplistic bags if you really want to dress in France to fit in with the locals.
They do. Europeans lean more toward mid-toned jeans than we do, but in general any color is fair game. Right now, brightly colored skinny jeans are very popular in Europe and these style-color combinations are also easy enough to find in the US. Skinny jeans are often paired with looser, longer tops and boots or flats.
Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics that are comfortable, breathable, and easy to care for. Opt for basics like stretch jeans, leggings or travel-friendly trousers as a foundation. Pair them with blouses, tops, or sweaters in neutral tones, allowing you to effortlessly create stylish ensembles.
Trauma tourism is a firmly established practice in Europe. Each year, hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the sites of former concentration camps in both Germany and Poland.
Tourists' irresponsible behaviours (e.g. damaging flowers, writing and painting on the walls and throwing waste material in the water and around the sea site) damage the coastal environment. The irresponsible behaviour of tourists has raised concerns about the sustainability of the coastal tourism environment.
