Good to know

Weather

12–22°C · Layer for rain and café terraces. A compact umbrella beats a heavy coat in shoulder season.

Money

Euro or local currency — contactless dominates capitals; cash still wins at small markets.

Local tip

Locals in London can spot commission guides instantly — never follow someone who intercepts you outside the arrivals hall.
