When traveling to Europe, there are some things that people should avoid to have a better experience. Firstly, tourists should avoid restaurants that try to pressure them into entering by fast-talking and offering freebies. Pickpocketing is another common issue, and it can happen in major cities like Paris, Amsterdam, and Barcelona. In the Netherlands, visitors should be careful not to walk on bicycle paths or fall into canals. While visiting Giethoorn, a village with canals instead of streets, tourists should avoid entering people's gardens. Lastly, tourists should watch out for street scammers, which can be a problem in cities like Paris and Rome.

That's really helpful advice, thanks for sharing. Another thing that tourists should avoid is carrying around a lot of cash. It's safer to use credit cards and withdraw money from ATMs as needed. In addition to that always check the currency exchange rates and if the countries do use card or cash to buy or sell things.

Yes, I totally agree. Also keep in mind to be respectful of local customs and traditions. In some countries, it's considered impolite to tip at restaurants, while in others it's expected. Doing a bit of research beforehand can prevent any awkward situations.

I've also heard that it's important to be mindful of noise levels, especially if you're staying in a hotel or Airbnb. Some areas have strict noise regulations and you could end up with a fine if you're too loud. It's always a good idea to check the local rules and regulations.
