Europe’s electrical system is different from America’s, both in voltage and plug shape. So, what adapter is best for you? Here are some tips for plugging into Europe. American appliances run on 110 volts, while European ones take 220. Most common gadgets like phones and laptops are “dual voltage,” which means they work on either current. If you see a range printed on your device (like “110-220”), you’re OK — but you’ll need an adapter to fit European outlets. British and Irish outlets are Type G

The best way to feast like a European — enjoying tasty local specialties economically — is to picnic. You'll eat better while spending half as much as those who eat exclusively in restaurants. There's no better travel experience than a picnic sourced from local markets and grocers, eaten outdoors with a lively square, peaceful park, or rejuvenated harborfront as a backdrop. It's also fun to dive into a marketplace or corner grocery and interact with locals. Europe's colorful markets overflow wit

It’s easy to enjoy Mykonos town with no planning, no tour, and no guide. This is a stop that lends itself to unstructured free time — just lazing on the beach, wandering, and b

Historically, French cafés served as a second home to the great artists, writers, and political figures of the time, like Trotsky, Stravinsky, Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein. Today, the French still flock to cafés for business meetings, encounter sessions, political discussions, and romantic interludes.
