I am visiting Paris, Zurich, Florence and Rome. I had tickets for

The Louvre, the Lindt chocolate museum, the doumo on Florence, Vatican and the coleseum.

The tickets are all named tickets, and I think they’d be validating the names against the ID.

Im wondering if a copy of the passport works? or a different ID from my home country?

Im a bit vary of carrying my passport around should I misplace it or get pickpocketted! :(

A friend informed me that any item you buy in Europe and wish to claim vat refund for will be sealed and given to you In a seal which you cannot remove till you leave the EU.

I was planning to buy a bag from there and remove the box and packaging as that just takes up space.

im wondering whats possible here? how correct the info is?
