Who’s got fall travel fever? We do, we do! What to do after you’ve booked your trip to Europe? Find out everything you can about the local food scene, of course. If you haven’t done your homework just yet, our pals over at\u00a0Travel Set Go<\/a>, a new membership site with insane hotel deals, offered up their pro advice.<\/p>\n

From finding local hidden gems to rules on tipping, check out their insight below and start packing your bags!<\/p>\n

\"Local<\/a>Do Your Homework<\/strong>
\nScout out authentic eateries to experience the true local cuisine. Go online and spend some time writing down a list of restaurants that represent the cultural local dishes you are looking for. Most of the time authentic restaurants are not located on the touristy main streets.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Tipping\"<\/a>Tipping is Optional<\/strong>
\nNot tipping the usual 15%-20% is okay. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not being rude. The prevailing culture in Europe is to not leave excessive tips. You can leave a few euros if you feel inclined.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Farmer's<\/a>Farmers\u2019 Markets<\/strong>
\nFarmers\u2019 markets are a good way to find high quality food at a reasonable price and an exciting cultural experience. Farmers\u2019 markets can be found somewhere in any city just about every day of the week.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Patio<\/a>Drink in Public<\/strong>
\nEurope has fairly lax laws about drinking in public. This means it is perfectly acceptable to enjoy a beer or bottle of wine in a park or other outdoor spaces. (And we can attest, there’s nothing better than sipping on a cold beer at a Parisian cafe while people watching!)<\/p>\n
