Italy Switzerland France 15 days episode

Preface: because their English is not good, although doing homework in advance, but the vast majority, led by students, wherever the play of the game is not comprehensive, some no guided tours are in the terms of the geographical culture and play a little discount, so much of my impressions are more subjective and one-sided, coupled with the language barrier between the various parts of the play details not available, just want to write these on all of travel is a bit of help. Because of the time, budget, character, idea, the same human geography feel, therefore I am only records your feelings!

Before starting

1. the travel book — bought through global European Edition, and not very good, looks just think there is a general idea, go to rely on it is still far from enough, but the accommodation as if nothing reference value, but it is better than the LP is Chinese in the map, LP bought also the European Edition, which describes the content more interested in some, accommodation in reference value, the range of the map, but fonts are also appropriate small, usually watch digital code and then find the map of the attractions and hotels tired, because they buy is one of spots in Europe Edition, only about a few words, LP on Interlaken and other key areas are only a few in a hurry, so 2 this broad European Edition are unsatisfactory.

Can a single this country that will be better, I didn't compare too, just think so. Therefore, the predecessors of travels more useful, but seems to not find very useful the travels, you need to read several articles.

2. domestic round-trip airline tickets — compares ctrip, a take-off, Hainan Airlines Web site, such as the international ticket ordering channels, select travel booking, because you can reserve the tickets to the ticket, at the latest, for travel dates change risk, better to do, I booked tickets, Hainan Airlines website Hainan Airlines e-ticket through a travel agency is sometimes better than tickets cheap 200 or so, but the disadvantage is drawn immediately, Lufthansa flights to most expensive are not discounted tickets, refunds, Hainan Airlines special fares can refund, cancellation fee is $ 1500 – 2000, rescheduled for $ 1000.

When I checked the ctrip air tickets are most expensive, and a take-off site while there are cheap, but many are not subscribed, or to display when the reservation is not, or cannot be displayed when you come back. But out of an airline reservation should not travel easily alone?

3. the European segment of the air tickets-cheap air network students, easyjet, ticket prices cheaper than ticket also sometimes, but there is a luggage control, tickets, buy ticket is 10 euro a, luggage ticket is bought at the airport is only 20 euro a (listen to the students that did not verify), cheap Airlines aircraft do not provide drinks and snacks, your money, do cheap air a lot of foreigners, because they do not require seat, first CHECK IN can be assigned to A group, you can select a seat on the plane, and a little money on a fixed ticket can be directly assigned to SA or SB priority on the plane, the plane has no business class air travel, are men, women and children, who are not too particular about service, so not too high

4. Italy tickets onsite buy, buy SWISS PASS railway station

5. the Office of a bank card, euro card, ICBC RMB account 10000 limit and the amount of 1000 euro, separate calculation (I only apply for this limit), no rejection of foreign countries, it is for the brush dollar credit card, some relatively cost-effective

6. Exchange euro cash: I is located south of the capital cities can redeem at various outlets of the Bank of China, ICBC, some need to branch exchange, thought to large branch can wrap to zero euro banknotes, the results of all denominations, and some even only 500 denominations, but district near the Bank of savings bank can wrap to small denomination euro 10, 20, in addition to domestic banks only minimal notes 5 euro cent coins are not accepted, in other words, whether it is a bit or 2 euro coins are not accepted, so if you have coins or abroad used either as a Memorial, I at the latest on the airport spent abroad

7. buy DIN plug, Italy does not completely used, whether it is a hotel or train are the 3 holes, others have no problem

Tourism countries: Germany, Berlin

Italy Venice, Florence, Rome, Milan,

Switzerland Lugano, Lucerne and Interlaken, horse, Geneva,

France, Paris, Nice, Monaco

Overall impression: individuals prefer Venice, Interlaken, Monaco.

Not much to Italy, apart from Venice you can, but on the whole Italy, and the toilet are 0.8 Europe, train often late, Switzerland really very good, very suitable for tourism, all ages, wanted to have the chance to stay in Switzerland only, toilet not only don't spend m also very clean, people are less, the train is on time, several local companies go train will not be a waste of time, such as by bus from A to b are 09: 00, b to c is 09: 05, convergence, and get off at the first thing to look at the platform under the bus, France also, Metro is crowded, with free toilets have not money, European toilets and hotel have toilet paper, I could not take a lot.

Consumption (only for reference, because the store's not the same price vary a lot):

1. in general the European commodity prices, Swatch watch is not cheaper than domestic, Longines watches, of which Switzerland is the cheapest cheapest Interlaken (I see several shops) cheaper than domestic counter 2000-2500 RMB, general pay cash discount low than credit card, but also in Interlaken bought watches is a direct tax rebates, when leaving Switzerland pay customs tax envelope.

Basically watch list price is the same, just compare discounts and refunds.

2. airport duty-free shop is also expensive, it is recommended that if the belt moves the trouble it is best not to buy at the airport, the golden triangle of chocolate 100G Geneva airport than supermarket expensive 0.5 Europe

3. cakes and sandwiches General 4.5-6.5 Europe, spaghetti with 8-12 Europe, Italy is full of ice cream is a main street features, generally 2-2.5 OU is the smallest, taste good, leave Italy, looking for ice-cream shop no

So easy, Italy pizza has a single sale, between 3-4 euro

4. Switzerland COOP supermarket relatively cheaper than other supermarkets, horse, commodity prices, horse chocolate Super Street shop while things more but more expensive than the COOP supermarket prices, plus a personal feel that chocolate or not to buy in Switzerland and other countries in the supermarket prices and comparable to the supermarket in Switzerland, there are also cheaper

5. Switzerland don't accept euros, all Swiss francs, some supermarket 10 Swiss francs above the provisions of the consumer to the credit card, so it's best to buy small pieces around 50 or so Swiss francs, in exchange for the euro, 3 Swiss franc fee

6. Paris Lafayette stores team go a lot, especially after 3 p.m., LV queues after rebate, shopping when you want to tour code, in addition there are special tax district, Chinese for Chinese for you, skin care cosmetics set up a Chinese district, in the Chinese district shopping BA are Chinese, there are 6 floor, Lafayette shops provide lunch, you can brush UnionPay card, but still is euro on customer¡¯s receipt.

7. Europe some restaurant tip automatically accumulated in consumption on the list, typically 10%

8. Starbucks coffee prices and domestic desserts, latte TALL glass of Berlin 2.9 Europe, $ 25, McDonald's set meal Paris is 5.8 Europe, Europe, Florence, fries 2.7 0.2 tomato paste, Rome, McDonald's Europe Kabujinuo coffee 1 euro

11. look at the Berlin business shop lifu Springs, the price is not cheap

12. foreign Switzerland Lotus chocolate than domestic cheap 5-15 Yuan/piece, the golden triangle seems almost (my city price comparison)

13. the best, because many have coin lockers, automatic ticketing opportunities available to

4. Rome-1 big sister of the late King, Chinese hotel 2 room 60 Euro breakfast, bathroom utilities, I really doubt that the Internet is not, in short let me on Chinese hotel too disappointed, Mrs. at railway stations, almost 26 platform around the station a large circle of outbound from 26 platform, Huong son get-King, said today the room, live here, tomorrow then lived, breakfast 8 a.m. eat with us in the past, it says on the website of 60 Euro charge 65 euro, we only 60 Central, cross the road opposite the building floor is that old elevator doesn't work, on the 2nd floor, traffic while convenient to room shabby, bed quilt cover with not washed, also restrict the use of water, do not let the laundry, said water much someone check fine, wireless Internet access, but we like to stowaways concentration camps.

I like the morning in the fresh air on the terrace, very quiet and peaceful, and of course from the bed to see snow.

6. horse-Bahnhof, 700 Swiss francs, public toilets, no breakfast, opposite the railway station is that while know from the train station is very near, but did not expect so near, the front desk staff very warm, here more embodies the spirit of self-help, oversized underground kitchen work surface.
