欧洲自助游指南英文版

春暖花开,正是旅游好时节。想过境外自助游么？可能种种原因限制，现在还无法实行这一计划，那么，让我们一起来预先感受一下境外旅游的各种风情吧。

Let’s assume you have two months, plenty of energy, and a desire to see as much of Europe as is reasonable. Fly into London—a manageable, English-speaking starting point—and travel around Europe with a 2-month Eurailpass. Budgeting for a $900 round-trip ticket to London, around $1,300 for a two-month first-class Eurailpass, and $100 a day for room, board, and sightseeing, the entire trip will cost about $8,200. You can do it for less by staying at hostels, making the most of picnics, and traveling by bus or second-class trains.

If I were planning my first European trip and wanted to see as much as I comfortably could in two months (and I had the experience I now have to help me plan), this is the trip I’d take.

London and Sidetrips (5 days)
London is Europe’s great entertainer; it’s wonderfully historic. Get your bearings on a "hop-on, hop-off" orientation bus tour from the park in front of Victoria Station. Give the London Eye Ferris Wheel a spin and tour the spiffed-up British Museum. Every day will be busy and each night filled with a pub and a play.
Spend your remaining time in the English countryside: Bath, the Cotswolds, York, and the university city of Cambridge. But the Continent beckons. Paris is only three hours away by Eurostar train (15 trains per day).

Paris (3 days)
Ascend the Eiffel Tower to survey a Paris studded with architectural gems and historical one-of-a-kinds. From the Latin Quarter, head to Notre Dame, the deportation monument to Nazi victims, and Sainte-Chapelle. Take the Pont-Neuf bridge over to the Samaritaine department store for a self-serve lunch and a great rooftop view. Stroll through the Tuileries Gardens and up the Champs-Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe. Be sure to experience the Louvre, Orsay Museum (Impressionism), the Rodin Museum, Napoleon’s Tomb, a jazz club, and Latin Quarter nightlife. Spend an evening on Montmartre soaking in the spiritual waters of the Sacré-Coeur and browsing among the tacky shops and artists of the Place du Tertre.

Paris Arc: The historic Arc de Triomphe, a good guidebook, and the excitement of Paris—the perfect mix. 

Take a sidetrip to Europe’s greatest palace, Louis XIV’s Versailles, or hartres with its great Gothic cathedral. Start your Eurail-pass when you leave Paris (it doesn’t work in Great Britain). Take the overnight train to Madrid (14 hours), or take a detour: Loire Valley (2 days). On the way to Spain, explore the dreamy ch?teaux of France’s Loire Valley. Make Amboise your headquarters. Consider an all-day bus tour of the ch?teaux.
