We are leaving on our honeymoon the day after our wedding, so I have to pack soon. I was wondering for those who have been to Europe and did any tours, what is the standard dress code, sort of speak. I bought comfortable flip flops to walk around in the cities, but my friends mentioned that people dress up and wear heels...is that true?
No heels! I wouldnt even wear flip flips either....sneakers all the way! You are going to want to be comfortable for all the walking you will do!

No heels! I lived in Spain for a summer, and in England for a year, and did a lot of traveling. Flip-flops and sneakers will definitely mark you as a tourist. But... you are a tourist. Your English will also tip people off! Wear what makes you comfortable.
If you want to blend in as you walk around (which, to be honest, I always do), you'd wear skirts instead of shorts - equally comfortable, and Europeans don't wear shorts at all - and comfy sandals instead of flip-flops.

i agree. I went on a med cruise and to italy for my honeymoon. no one was dressed up; if anything i wore lots of summer dresses and pretty sandals but most everyone was casual (especially in italy). i packed two pairs of heels that i never wore. definitely try to go for comfy sandals because flip flops hurt after a while
Iam going on a mediterranean cruise in oct. anyone know the weather?????
if you are planning on visiting any of the cathedrals or famous churches, most make women cover their knees and shoulders- so have a wrap and a couple longer skirts/capris to wear for those days & dont forget the formal nights on the cruise- when we did our 12-day, I think there was 3 nights

Did you take any particular tours that you stood out? We decided to wing it for now.

I am not sure what your itinerary is- but we did mostly Italy, and Croatia, the south of France/Monaco and Barcelona. All the tours that we did were great- but my favorite was the Sorrento & Swim- it was a shopping morning with a beach afternoon- in general any of the ones that you pick through the cruise company are great. where are you guys going?
