For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Required Documents for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application.

To avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if it is a country that applies a visa to Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.

Since our guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents by the police officer at the country’s entry/exit points; we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents pay attention to this matter.

HEALTH

There is no vaccination requirement at the entrance to Luxembourg. We do not think that you will encounter any health-threatening problems with meals taken at the region’s good restaurants and hotels. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend that you be careful about food and drink, that you definitely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, consume meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and eat fruits whose peel can be removed, such as bananas and pineapples.

Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable and coach beds, participants making 3rd person and/or child reservations are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible congestion in the rooms and the type of bed.

FOOD CULTURE

When German food culture is mentioned, cakes, potatoes and of course beer come to mind first. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a wide variety of beer and wine.

French cuisine, whose roots date back to the Middle Ages, has a rich culture. Famous local drinks and a variety of cheeses have made French cuisine world-famous, and it is known for meat dishes cooked with different sauces and famous desserts such as crème brûlée, macaron and soufflé.

Belgian cuisine combines the traditions of German and French cuisines.

Although Dutch cuisine is not very rich, its cheeses are worth trying. The other flavors are generally fast food style.
