Here are some tips to avoid pitfalls, so you don't make the same mistakes. ⛔️Tip 1: Schengen visas must be applied for 1-3 months in advance. Book flights and hotels only after the visa is approved. Don't get the order wrong. ⛔️Tip 2: There are many pickpockets in Europe. Don't choose hotels in unsafe areas just to save money. ⛔️Tip 3: Before traveling, purchase insurance, apply for a visa, exchange currency, confirm your passport is valid for at least 6 months, and install travel-related apps on your phone. ⛔️Tip 4: The power outlets are Italian Type L three-prong plugs. European standard plugs won't work. ⛔️Tip 5: You'll need to walk between attractions in Italy, and there are cobblestone paths within the attractions, so it's best to wear comfortable shoes. ⛔️Tip 6: Walk confidently! The more cautious you are, the more it looks like you have money in your bag! ⛔️Tip 7: Bring an anti-theft bag. ⛔️Tip 7: Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be walking an average of 20,000 steps a day.
