We wear our bags in front bc we’re scared of being pickpocketed lol, especially in big cities like Paris and Barcelona
in Greece if you see a person wearing sandals and socks we automatically believe you're german XD
sorry to all my german people out there
What is it with Americans thinking Europe is the same everywhere?
It's embarrassing.
If they're congregating at Starbucks, it's for the wifi too hehe
AGREED! I give this tip to anyone who travels: if you don't have a data or an international plan, stand outside of a chain coffee shop or a McDonalds. I'm American and I lived in London for a over a year. I'd frequently run out of data & pay as you go minutes but I needed Google maps and Citymapper to navigate. So I'd stand outside of a starbucks or inside of a subway station because subway stations in London have wifi as well.
I decided to go to France on vacation and all I heard was how rude they can be to Americans in particular. I look and speak 100% American. I was not deterred. I knew a woman at work born and grew up in Paris, I decided she was my info center. After awhile ,and closer to my trip, I had bought a few new items of clothes and armed with my 2 French books, I went to Paris. It has a magic other places do not and for 14 days I was “spaghetti-o’s”, Franco-American...get it... I asked directions,ordered food,spoke to people working at the Metro. Everyone was SPECTACULAR! My whole point,be respectful,be quiet,indulge in a French translation book and remember you are somewhere with a brilliant history,amazing museums and really nice people. Say please and thank you.And above all,enjoy yourself and jump on the Franco-American train! It is a ride you won’t forget!
Speak 100% American. Pretty sure the language is called English.
Look American? Unless you look like a native American, its a weird thing to say.
sneer0101 whether you realize it or not,strictly speaking, I speak,as you probably do,American. If you doubt,just talk to an English person,Scots, or Irish. There is a difference. And open yourself up a bit Sneer, it’s lots of-great big experiences out there to 😉 Enjoy!
sneer0101 Your name fits you, I sure hope you don’t go out in public with that sneer...
Tina Yael Severinova M. I studied French during school,a hundred years ago. I read thru my travel books and spoke French for 2 weeks. I would ask the person I was speaking with if they spoke English. There would be a “non” and the temperature would drop. I would say “ my French is not so good so please pardon me” I would then muddle thru whatever I needed. The sun would then come out and EVERYTHING changed! The Parisians were just delightful! When I checked out of the hotel the concierge walked up to me,thanked me for being there and told me how everyone had loved my American accent! I have nothing but nice things to say about France and the French people! All it takes is respect for people their country and their culture.Plus a little effort ,manners and kindness.
Hello, please and thank you will literally change your tourist experience in France.
Part of being a tourist is documenting everything that you do in the form of pictures, videos or maybe through journal because you are in an unfamiliar place, having new experiences, and immersing yourself in different cultures. So I don't understand why would someone is making a mistake by doing that.
Korean and Japanese tourists are usually sooo well dressed!! I feel like a slob when I walk passed them.
Maybe not generalise what not to do in Europe when you have people from only four European countries
For americans, europe only consists of france, germany, spain and italy
@@dustyshop90 that isn't true.
These four countries are the most visited in Europe.
@@dustyshop90 and England don’t forget England
Frenchman complaining that tourists don't speak French? Shocking 😂
I think he mean that tourists don't put effort to speak french...basic word or sentence like "hi", "thank you","bye" but he was generalising...all tourists are not like that of course
I don't like seeing people wear socks with sandals. I don't think taking pictures majority of the time is annoying. I understand being in the moment but that may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for them and they may not be able to go back
Socks with sandals are very comfortable in the spring time and why directly specify this characteristic on tourist, when sandals with socks are often worn in Germany
@@hd2252 Most germans have no sense of fashion 😂
Socks in sandals...that's a very German/Czech thing 🤷♂️
To be fair we take pictures all the time in America too. We go to a nice restaurant you see people taking pics of their food. You go to a museum and people will take pics of the art or their family in front of the art. Go to the 6 flags and people take pics. Go to any canyon or nature and people are taking pictures
I'm from Europe as well but I don't get the part about clothes. Baggy clothes and running shoes are a good choice when you travel and you walk all day. The same about wearing one style all the time. It's better to look boring than struggle with a heavy luggage. ;)
I also used to wear my backpack when I was abroad. I didn't assume that everyone's a thief but the city was full of tourists and it was very crowded. If someone steals your wallet in your hometown, you know exactly where to go and what to do. If the same happens in travel - you're in a trouble. It's ok to be cautious.
Of course people are taking pictures they're on vacation?! That being said dont photograph other people, especially their children, without permission
They should do a video about all the mistakes tourists make when visiting the US because that list is just as long
For me is - Gym clothes. I get it its comfortable but still you can find comfortable and elegant clothes and not look like you just run on treadmill. Btw it is not that glam on your photo album.
Some people care more about enjoying their trip than being than being vapid on Instagram.
@@mgomez6480 you can be comfortable without wearing gym clothes and look like a slob
@@agnieszkavanheirreweghe5837 And you miss special special are entitled if you think it's any of your business.
@@mgomez6480 there is nothing entitled about wanting people to respect your home by dressing adequately. You are entitled if you think that it's just your business how you dress abroad instead of respect and common decency
@@agnieszkavanheirreweghe5837 Oh I'm sorry princess, I didn't know you were minister of your country's dress code.
Went to islands of adventure last week and I usually don’t pay any mind to tourists but I did notice there were a ton of Spaniards cuz they were being LOUD af. 🤷🏻♀️ goes both ways sir.
These people seem way too uptight. Complaining about tourists speaking their own language and taking pictures, seriously?
MelodiousRhyme it’s about expecting people to know your language. That’s a big difference to merely speaking one’s own language.
Exactly.
Even in America, socks 'n sandals is not cool, either. There may be those who do wear them, but it's not cool. If people are going to visit Europe, take the time beforehand to learn a little about each country's customs. With the advent of internet, it should not be difficult.
I'm actually surprised no one has commented on the German woman talking about the Hitler salute. That seemed like the only very offensive thing to me. It is even illegal to do the Hitler salute in Germany, so just don't...
I wonder what these people are like when they travel... 🤔
Right! Because Italians are soooooooo loud! My goodness! I'm an American who lived in London and the loudest people on the subway trains were always Italian people. Not that there's a noise limit, but if everyone's staring at you then you should probably lower your voice a little. (Disclaimer: I have no issues with Italians or anyone. Just saying that no tourist is perfect)
@@NaiBreeze i absolutely CAN'T STAND Italians.
DearJRenae wow, xenophobia ❤️
I love that we don’t care what people wear from Europe when they come to the United States but we care so much how we look when we go to Europe
I don't know why they do that
I have a funny moment when I was in scheveningen this autumn. It’s one of the hot tourist places here in the Netherlands. So I was at a restaurant and when I came out of the restroom I saw 2 woman(a Brit and a German) talking. But the funny thing was that they where talking in there own tong while understanding each other.
There are signs in Paris about being aware of pick pocketers. So yeah! I will protect my gear!
Socks in sandals is wrong anywhere on this planet. If you see sandal/socks combo, probably an alien from another planet.
I don't understand how no one is talking about how handsome are the Spanish and the French guys
Thanks for sharing the mistakes you're making in Europe as a tourist.
when touring Texas, please don't greet a Texan with "howdy & y'all".....and don't complain about the sudden changes in temperature, you're in Texas; do your research.
Sandals with socks?!? Duuuuude, that's not right.
When tourists travel and they want to learn about a country's culture, dont assume that tourists automatically know your language, like yes i know some spanish i learn it sometimes and i love the Spanish culture but i dont know 100% know Spanish
Francisco being the thumbnail made me immediately think of Jane the Virgin bc he played Fabian. You earned a click from me lol
Good advice, it's appreciated
I worked in tourism here in Europe and I can spot Americans a mile away
sandles with socks is a big no no, unless you like people to snigger behind your back
That's what tourists do bruh, they stay taking pictures of everything. The pictures being taken without consent is a no no. They dress too casual? News Flash lady, tourists don't dress up walking around your country or many other countries for that matter in formal wear, they're going to dress casually. Let's see how you dress abroad in a tropical climate in the summer......casually.
There's a different sense of what dressing casually means that's exactly it. Of course we don't wear tuxedos when we're travelling but a shirt for example wouldn't be considered too formal for travelling
You know Spain and Italy are very very hot places, don't you?
We simply never dress too casual because it's our culture.
Not just tourists but people who cut in line are the worst!
Trying not to look like a tourist is unrealistic for most of us e.g. our skin color. It’s okay to look like a Tourist - it’s how we act that’s more important than what we wear. Sadly, it seems to be a reaction to poor Tourist behaviour, or simple ignorance.
I felt so strongly about this I’ve made a video to help new Tourists become travelling ambassadors for their own country so we can all be proud of where we come from and not have to worry about blending in. Ciao.
How hard is it to understand consent works globally?
I wonder if Herbert and YB are still together?
Italian guy complains tourists are loud.......:))) can't stop laughing
To be fair we deadass wander around america taking pictures of our food and anything we visit. So it may not be that we are tourists but it might just be an American thing
Now I have a list of things to do in Europe
The people with university/college sweater are fucking university/college kids. That literally all we wear even on campus.
BuzzFeed is so greedy that I have like 6 adverts displaying. Never click on their channel!

Excuse-me?
The most offensive thing I‘ve seen a tourist do was using the snapchat face swap filter on pictures of jews in a Holocaust Memorial Museum in Berlin.
Had did the Spanish guy get a American frat boy accent 😂
Ive been loving these videos but found this to be a bit disappointing as you only interviewed people from 4 countries... Europe has so much diversity! I feel like the other videos focus on national etiquette whereas this was just a mix of annoying things tourists do in the opinion of these people. Some were valid points, but they focused a lot on looks and clothes, which I don't think should annoy anyone.
Accurate
In Boracay, i saw a Chinese tourist in two pieced bikini while wearing stilettos on the sand
Wearing shoes inside.
That's a huge offense.
Space
Taking picture of baby and children is probably asian thing. Sorry, children have the right not to be shown in picture. So do not invade their personal space.
Ew who puts ketchup on their pizza??
Assume everyone speaks their language. If not speaking louder and slower will fix the problem.
Wearing helmets
What's wrong with wearing sweatshirts/hoodies with university names on them? lmao that's a funny thing to nitpick about smh
It is just sooo American. And sluggish
I wore sandals with socks in Thailand
most of the people who spoke in this video sounded prejudice. borderline racist. they like the money of the people. but they forget that they as well are tourists too.
That's right muniz, we are all tourists on the little blob of sand in the universe. Europe is no better than anywhere else in terms of manners and clothes....it's a superiority that came about when Europe ruled the world and the USA was a little pip squeak nation filled with nouveau riche trying to discover the "glories" of European 'culture'. Now, 2020, going abroad is like everywhere else...get it? That spanish chap with the torn jeans and sneakers...well...he could be from L.A., or Dallas or London or......That German was wearing a pull over with some sort of message on it....different? Quiet? You should see Spanish and French and Italian people getting drunk and screaming and dancing and doing what every other tourist does on Bourbon Street in New Orleans....different? Most European tourists, in the USA, huddle together and are not very daring or good explorers of where they're visiting....well, some are, but not too many. They are also critical of the food and the coffee and the chocolate and the domestic wines.......a lot of them are bitches and demanding and unpleasant.....sounds like their complaints of americans in Europe?
I am America who the hell just came up to you take s a pick of you I like my personal sp
Lmao having lived in Spain (and other places in Europe), I have to say they were the most uncultured and close minded people I’ve ever met. The travelers were way more inclusive and real.
And yo socks with sandals isn’t bad lol
