Who can I contact in case of an emergency?
Your safety is our top priority. In case of an emergency during your stay, it is crucial to know exactly who to contact and what steps to take to ensure you receive prompt assistance.
Contact Local Authorities First
In any emergency situation where your safety or health is at risk, always contact local emergency services immediately. Local authorities are equipped to handle urgent situations and provide the fastest response.
Emergency Numbers by Region
European Union: Call 112 – the universal emergency number for ambulance, fire department, or police. This number works across all EU member states for serious conditions including:
- Stroke or heart attack
- Serious accidents
- Medical emergencies
- Fire or safety hazards
If you are staying outside the European Union, research the local emergency number for your specific location before your arrival and keep it easily accessible.
