Passports
Passports are required of U.S. citizens visiting Europe. First-time applicants
13 and over must fill out an application form and appear in person at a U.S.
Passport Agency office, or at a designated courthouse or post office. Bring
your birth certificate or proof of citizenship, a photo identification and two
recent identical "head shot" photos, 2" x 2", and apply
well ahead of your trip. Children ages 13 to 17 must appear with a parent. If
you are applying for a child under 13, the child need not appear.
Note: Most Passport Agency offices now serve only those departing within two
weeks and require that you make an appointment in advance. Others will be directed
to U.S. Post Offices and local courthouses that take passport applications.
Passport charges were raised in August 2002, with the fee for first-time applicants
16 and over now at $85 (10-year passports). The fee for children 15 and under
is $70 (five-year passports).
Passports of adults can be renewed by mail for up to 12 years from issue date.
All passports obtained in 1992 are up for renewal. Renewal fees are $55. Processing
time is about three weeks, excluding mailing time, longer during the spring
and summer months. If you wish expedited service (delivery within two weeks),
there is an additional $60 fee, plus overnight delivery costs.
Passport, visa and U.S. travel-advisory information is available from the State
Department's Consular Affairs site at http://travel.state.gov. You can download
passport application and renewal forms, and locate the nearest Passport Agency,
or designated post office or courthouse.
You can also call the State Department's new automated National Passport Information
Center at 877-487-2778.
Visas
Visas are not required for American tourists on short-term visits (usually less
than 90 days) by any member countries of the European Travel Commission covered
on this site, except Turkey. U.S. citizens must obtain visas ($100 as of December
2002) before entering Turkey, either from a Turkish consulate abroad, or at
airport and border entry points.
Health Certificates
Health certificates are not required for entering any of the countries covered
here (unless you are coming from an officially declared "infected area"). Nor
are they required for your return to the U.S. from these countries. For information
on health conditions abroad, see sites of the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and the World
Health Organization.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is strongly recommend for overseas travel. A comprehensive
travel insurance plan should include coverage for Trip Cancellation & Interruption,
Medical Expenses and Emergency Medical Transportation, Loss and Damage to Baggage,
and a toll-free, 24-hour travel assistance hotline. Travelers should read any
policy carefully, know what is covered, and consider the following tips:
Medicare does not extend beyond the borders of the United States – travelers
on Medicare and other restrictive managed-care health plans can protect themselves
with comprehensive third-party travel insurance.
Weigh carefully any travel protection
offered directly by a tour operator or travel supplier – a comprehensive third-party
travel insurance plan will cover the traveler’s travel investment in the event
of a travel carrier’s financial demise.
Extensive weather and security delays
can impact travel itineraries and baggage – travelers should look for coverage
of Delayed Baggage and Travel Delays when considering any travel insurance plan.
Weather Forecast
Although most of Europe lies in latitudes more northerly than New York, warm Atlantic currents moderate temperatures, even in Iceland.
The Alps can be used as a rough dividing line for the continent's climate. To the north, summers are mild, while winters can be cool and damp. To the south, from Portugal to Turkey, winters are mild and summers are hot (much like southern California), with rain most common in autumn and spring. As always, temperatures are cooler at higher altitudes. Take a raincoat or sweater, even in summer.
European countries measure temperature in Centigrade rather than Fahrenheit.
For five-day forecasts for any of 66 European cities, go to the Met Office, Britain's national weather service.
You can also check U.S. newspapers for Europe weather information or call 900-WEATHER, a Weather Channel service that offers updated reports for 95 cents a minute.
