<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay connected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, remember 112<\/strong>, the European emergency number<\/strong> for ambulance,<\/strong> fire<\/strong>, or police services in all European countries except Moldova, Montenegro, Belarus, and Albania.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be vigilant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be aware of your surroundings, research<\/strong> potential areas to avoid<\/strong> before you travel, and steer clear of poorly lit<\/strong> places. The hosts and restaurant owners you meet can also be valuable <\/strong>sources of advice. Keep your belongings secure<\/strong> and never leave your drinks unattended<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn some local phrases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
