What to bring

• Passport or Card ID, it doesn't matter which you may possess. Each one has its own function when it comes to identification. Whether it be for traveling, banking, or age verification, they both serve a purpose. No matter which you possess, it's crucial to have them updated and kept secure. Losing or allowing them to expire can become a challenge for recouping. Maintain their whereabouts and handle their usage with carefulness.

Not allowed

• Shorts
• Carrying oversized bags, particularly those that are designed for traveling, can be quite troublesome. It's not unusual to spot individuals lugging their luggage behind them, particularly in bustling train stations or airports. These bags are frequently weighty and can occupy a significant amount of space, rendering navigating crowded areas even more challenging. It's critical to pack resourcefully and strive to decrease the number of bags you bring on your travels to make your journey less stress-inducing and more comfortable.
• Fashion-minded individuals often opt for shorter skirts, showcasing a bit more leg and flaunting their distinctive flair. These leg-baring outfits have claimed fashion-icon status for generations, with distinct variations emerging and dissipating with time. While a select few might consider short skirts a bit too revealing or inappropriate, others view it as an avenue to flaunt their individuality and audacity. Whatever the preferences may be, it's highly plausible that short skirts will remain trendy in fashion for years to come.
• Don't undervalue the versatility of shirts that don't have sleeves. With the ability to offer a drafty and unrestrained atmosphere for your arms, they become quite a chic selection. These shirts excel in hot weather or during exercising because they ensure peak breathability. And, due to the various styles and fabrics that sleeveless shirts are offered in, finding one that matches your preferences is remarkably straightforward. Regardless if you're seeking a laid-back tank top or a dressier blouse, every event has a choice for your sleeveless needs.
