Many Israelis are expected to fly to various European destinations in the coming months to enjoy Christmas markets, New Year's celebrations, skiing and other winter vacation styles.
Following the gas shortage caused by the war in Ukraine, many countries in Europe will have to save electricity, some of them have already announced how they will do it, so that the next vacation will no longer be what you thought.
In Germany, buildings will not be lit after 22:00, businesses will also have to turn off their illuminated signs at night and all this to save electricity, some of the fountains will not work either.
Accommodation facilities and apartments will have heating limited to a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, which will keep the rooms quite cold even in cold periods.
If you've been banking on swimming in heated pools, that too will be banned in cold Germany, which means it will be nearly impossible to swim in the country's pools during the cold months.
According to the report, washing hands in hot water will also be banned.
In addition, they started a campaign there to shorten shower times to save energy.

In France too, they will limit the heating to 17 degrees and reduce the street lighting significantly and on hot days they do not turn on the air conditioner below 26 degrees.
In Finland, citizens were advised to shower with less water and save fuel by driving slowly, in Italy they limit heating in offices and reduce lighting in the streets and, among other things, also in tourist sites where quite a few tourists would come even in the evening to enjoy evening tours in the tourist places.

In Spain, they will encourage working from home and limit the heating temperature in public buildings during the winter.
The restriction applies to movie theaters, airports, theaters, shopping centers and train stations.
On hot days in Spain, they will not turn on the air conditioner as long as the temperature does not exceed 27 degrees.
Significant steps are also expected in the Czech Republic, Holland, England and other countries that depend on Russian gas and are supposed to deal with the new situation.

Gas prices in Europe are very high, the gas bills of the continent's residents are three to four times what they paid before the war in Ukraine, and it is estimated that the prices will continue to rise.
This means that the hotels, restaurants and other businesses will also have to pay the high prices in the winter and there is a probability that some of this will also translate into an increase in prices on the continent.
