Travel Guide Part VIII: Bathrooms

Public bathrooms in Europe are very much different than they are in the United States. While most every restaurant and bar will have a bathroom, most stores, grocery stores, etc. won’t have one. There are bathrooms in the train stations as well. As far as public restrooms in tourist spots, they are usually unisex and will often cost something like fifty Euro cents. This is a bit of an annoyance, but worth it most of the time. In Europe, bathrooms are called Water Closets for the most part. The abbreviation that you look for is WC. To ask where a bathroom is in Italian, say "dov’e un bagno."
That’s pretty much it as far as public facilities go in Europe, once again, if I forgot anything, please let me know and I’ll add it in.
