Do I need to know the local laws?

Yes. When you’re travelling, you’re responsible for knowing and following the laws and customs of the place you’re in. That includes rules on:

• alcohol, including where and when you can drink, and the drinking age
• public behaviour, dress and photography
• gatherings and events

Rules can be very different from home. Check your government’s travel advice for the country before you go. Linkup can’t give legal or travel advice.
