Tips - What to Watch Out for at Public Screenings
We have put together a few tips for a carefree football experience:
• Get there as early as possible - the European Championships are popular and many others want to cheer on their favourite team. We recommend getting to your favourite public screening venue as early as possible to get a (good) seat.
• Think about alternatives - if your favourite venue is already full, have one or two alternatives in mind where you can still watch the game.
• Don't bring a big bag - you probably won't be able to bring a gym bag or large backpack, especially at the big public venues. Save yourself some stress and pack just the essentials.
• Sun cream or umbrella - check the weather forecast and pack sun cream, an umbrella or jacket.
• Take care of your valuables - it will be crowded, so make sure you keep an eye on your valuables.
