Central Europe Travel Tips

Travelers in Central Europe can feel assured knowing that the country has a robust emergency response system. Before you travel, review your medical insurance policy to understand what coverage you have while abroad, including the types of emergencies, services, and institutions you can rely on. For serious situations, such as passport loss, legal issues, or significant emergencies, contact your country's embassy or consulate. It’s wise to keep their contact details accessible during your stay.

Pharmacies assist with minor medical concerns, and some operate 24/7. If you need medication after hours, look for the nearest pharmacy on duty.
