In the EU, when a train is significantly delayed or cancelled altogether, affected passengers are often entitled to compensation, according to the EU Passenger Regulation.

Unlike the United States, where tax is tacked on top of an item's retail price, in Europe, Value Added Tax (VAT) is already factored into the price tag. That means you won't pay an additional percentage when checking out. VAT varies from country to country in the EU-typically falling between 17% and 27%-and international travelers can claim the VAT back on items they're bringing back home.
