[before travel]
2018 is a special year for me. I got married on May 20, 2018!
There are 25 days of marriage leave. How to arrange honeymoon? Of course, I want to go abroad. I want to go to Europe, which I dreamed of when I was a child!
Fortunately, the tour guide is very good. There is no compulsory consumption at all. It is also very relaxed. We can go to the local supermarket, take off the tour group freely, and let us have a deep tour at any time. The tour experience is so beautiful, which has a lot to do with the tour guide!
[transportation]
There's no record of round-trip flights with group tours. There are buses between the seven countries
[accommodation]
Basically, one place a day, Italy's accommodation is the worst, the room is too primitive, Switzerland lives on the foot of the snow, Paris lives in the suburbs, and has lived in Disney, etc. in a word, the good and the bad are experiences, and all kinds of experiences are life! I think it's good~
[clothing]
When we go to Europe in May and June, sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's rainy. Because we have to go to the snow mountain, I also bring down jacket, which is not hot when it rains
[itinerary]

First day [May 30] abroad
Russian aviation, worthy of being the pilot of the fighting nation, is really as casual as it is said
The only unsatisfactory thing about this group is the red eye flight, which takes too long to go to Europe
I arrived at the airport at 9:30 in the evening. After meeting with 30 other group members and tour guides, I had to wait endlessly. I didn't fly until 0:40. I was trapped in a circle. I needed to stop in Ekaterinburg, Russia, from Harbin to Rome. It took me more than 16 hours to fly. The plane was also modified. I thought it was narrower than an ordinary plane, and it was fast to stop in Russia, Ekaterinburg airport in Russia is very small. The staff are all Russian aunts. They have been flying for another five and a half hours, and the hungry meal is OK. They landed in Rome at more than 9:00 local time. They are really tired and sleepy. Rome is hot and smoking!
Ekaterinburg airport in Russia, just a little bigger
Russia's rainy days
Russian food
The next day [May 31] Rome, Italy
It landed at more than 9:00 Rome time (there is a 6-hour time difference between Rome and China). Compared with the rainy days in Russia, Rome is sunny. When we got out of the airport, we found our bus and went to have dinner first. The quality of Chinese food is average, but at least we can have enough
After dinner, the bus took us around the city of Rome. Generally speaking, Rome is too shabby, but the old one has a special flavor. Ancient Italy is just a historic site step by step. We can't see it at all. We are not sleepy with excitement
Vittoriano Memorial Hall of Italian unification on the largest Venice Square in Rome
The bus stopped at Republic Square and the guide took us to the duty-free shops around. We are not interested in duty-free shops. We go to the square by ourselves
Republic Square is a part of the ruins of the dacrisian bathhouse, close to the central railway station, the transportation hub of Rome. Two fan-shaped ancient buildings encircle a fountain of fairies. The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of angels and martyrs beside the square is a distinctive church building in Rome.
Republic Square is also the place where the hero and heroine meet for the first time in Roman holiday.
After turning around the square, we casually saw a building in the distance which was different from other places. It looked very shabby. Some people came in and out, so we went in, thinking that if we didn't want to visit or needed tickets, we would talk about it. Who knows, no one is in charge at all, the interior is a church, and the places within visual reach are shocking. After visiting the church, we found that it was the famous Notre Dame Hall of angels and martyrs, which was designed by Michelangelo.
The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of angels and martyrs is a secondary Catholic temple built in the cold water bath of the former dacrisian bathhouse. In the period of the Italian kingdom, the main hall was the official national church, and later the state funeral was still held here.
Daikelian was originally a Guard officer. He won at the end of the civil war which lasted for 50 years after emperor karakara, and finally became emperor. Like carracara, he also built large baths for Roman citizens. In 1563, Michelangelo was ordered to use the remains of the bathhouse to build the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of angels and martyrs.
The main body of the church is a typical basilica structure, 90.8 meters long, 27 meters wide, 28 meters high, a huge cuboid space. In addition to the main altar in the middle, there are chapels on the two wings.
In the church quietly visited for a while, has been shocked in the heart Wah Wah!
After coming out, it was not time to gather, so we had to go around the city in the big sun.
Romantic Italy, romantic Italians, my heart is really rippling~~
After a tour, I sat on the steps and waited for the group members to catch up with a group of students who might have a spring outing. Wu Yang sat next to me and took out his own sandwich
Outside the church are Swiss royal guards in red, yellow and blue uniforms
Gather at 3:30 p.m. and set off for Rome Colosseum and the Arc de Triomphe of Constantine. It's the second half of the night in China at this time. Everyone is really tired and sleepy. I can't open my eyes. The Colosseum is not as good as inside, so I look at it from a distance and have a rest in the shade
In 72 A.D., Emperor vespasin began to build this huge marble and limestone structure. In this open-air theater, the Romans entertained themselves by playing games, hunting and fighting. The Colosseum of ancient Rome is not only a show of bloody sports, but also the pulley, ramp and trap door system designed to improve the scene of animals and gladiators, which shows the engineering technology of ancient Rome at that time. It was once a place where gladiators fought for their lives and prisoners fought with hungry lions. It was also a great symbol of eternal Rome.
The Arc de Triomphe of Constantine was built in 315 to commemorate the victory of Emperor Constantine over emperor maxenti in unifying the Roman Empire. According to the guide, when Napoleon came to Rome that year, he saw the Arc de Triomphe and greatly appreciated it. Later, he built the Arc de Triomphe of Paris based on it
The tour guide ordered us to gather at 5:30, and all the group members arrived. Who knows that the bus driver has disappeared. It's said that the reason is that there is no parking around the Colosseum, and the driver can only drive all the way around. It's already 6:30 when we get there. Everyone is on the verge of collapse. We have to go to Florence at night. We have to eat dinner at the hotel on the road. It's still so bright at 8:00 p.m.
I arrived at the hotel in Florence at 10:00 p.m. this small hotel was not so small. The whole room smelled of mildew and covered with damp blankets. However, because I had played for 12 hours on the long-distance plane and got off the plane, I really fell asleep before I had time to pick and choose
The hotel was taken the next morning
Day 3 [June 1] Florence, Italy - Pisa
View outside the hotel room
I get up early at 7 o'clock and have breakfast in Europe for the first time. I'm still used to it, such as cold fruit juice, cold milk, cold yogurt, cold bread, cold ham and so on. At the beginning, the excitement of going to Europe has not yet subsided. I have a very sweet breakfast. I set off at 9:30, and I'm in Florence. Florence is the birthplace of Italian Renaissance, which is full of strong artistic atmosphere.
The bus can only stop outside the old city. We need to walk all the way to the old city. A female guide came to meet us at the Holy Cross cathedral. The next explanation depends on her
St. Cross Church is located in St. Cross Square. It was founded in 1924. It is the largest St. Francis Church in the world. It is also known as "the pantheon of Italy". 276 Italian great men, such as Galileo, Michelangelo, machiavellia, Marconi, etc., sleep here. We only gave a brief explanation outside. We didn't have time to visit inside, but it didn't affect my shock.
The Gothic facade we see today was built on the occasion of Dante's centenary in the 19th century, and the statue of Dante stands on the left.
Finally came to the highlight of Florence - Notre Dame Cathedral, the first great building of the Renaissance, this church is worth the detailed introduction of thick ink color.
When I first met, everyone was sighing. In the crowded crowd, I seemed to be able to hear the brilliant sound of the horse's hoof in the Renaissance. Architecture and painting were also shining with the light of the Renaissance. There are many majestic churches in the world, but few of them are so charming. This beautiful church with white, red and green granite veneers vividly interprets the classical, elegant and free style of the Renaissance. No wonder it is named "the virgin of flowers".
The original site of Notre Dame of flowers is the Church of St. reprata built in the 4th century. It is composed of church, baptistery and bell tower. The main entrance of the Baptistery is praised as "the gate of heaven" by master Michelangelo. In 1296, Cosimo di Giovanni de Medici funded the construction of a new church, which took 175 years to complete. The most incredible thing is that bruneneski did not draw a sketch or write down a set of calculation data, as if the whole dome had been built in his heart. His tomb is under the church, and his statue points to his beloved dome in the church square.
After listening to the explanation, we circled around the church, looked up at the high tower, all the language is very weak
The city square has the reputation of an open-air Sculpture Museum, and it is also the center of Florence's political life for centuries. On the square are the Vicchio Palace (the old palace), the replica of Michelangelo's sculpture David and the fountain of the sea god.
There is a row of sculptures at the entrance of the old palace. The most famous one is Michelangelo's work David. However, the original one was moved to the Florence Academy Museum of art in 1873, and now the original one is a replica.
Perseus by benevito Cellini《 Perseus is a bronze sculpture, which shows a healthy young man, holding Medusa's head high in his left hand, knife in his right hand and bending his left leg. The body of the enemy is at his feet.
When we were all taking pictures in the square and the sculpture, we wandered into the city hall again. It's also a unique cave! The murals are really beautiful!
Duty free shops are also inevitable. The duty-free shops in Florence have the best Italian handmade leather shoes, handmade bags and so on. We bought a key bag for our colleagues. We can use 18K gold foil paper to print English letters and Florence City flowers by hand, and the tax refund is 25 Euro, which is quite meaningful~
After shopping, go to the street, eat an Italian ice cream, excited bubble
The characteristic of Europe is that it's good-looking no matter how it's photographed. It's a hundred year old site everywhere
This humble building is Dante's former residence
I can't understand Italian. The taste is a mixture of two kinds, delicious, 3.5 euro
After a random meal of Chinese food with no idea what to eat, we went back on the road. It was an hour and a half's journey to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was also forbidden for buses to enter the city. We had to walk in the sun for more than 20 minutes to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is only part of the Cathedral of Pisa. Standing in the central square of Pisa - Miracle square, there are cathedrals, baptistery and leaning tower of Pisa.
Pisa tower is 54.5 meters high and 16 meters in diameter. It is inclined to the southeast with an angle of 3.9. In the early stage of construction, the inclined tower tilted an average of 1 mm per year and was once shut down. Most people believe that it is because of uneven foundation and soft soil.
There are 213 arches on each floor of the tower. The walls at the bottom of the tower are engraved with reliefs and the Bell Pavilion at the top. There are 294 spiral steps inside the tower for visitors to climb the tower and have a panoramic view of the whole city.
I also have to get a less than perfect photo of tourists
Foreigners are well prepared, but they don't see a film
After dinner in Pisa, I took a bus for another 4 hours and arrived in Venice at about 10 p.m. because I was too tired to play, I didn't need to adjust the time difference when I went to Europe, so I had a good sleep the next day.
Day 4 [June 2] Venice, Italy
The 9 point is to go to Venice. Venice is the essence of Renaissance. The only city in the world without cars is God's tears flowing here, but it makes it more crystal clear and tender. It's like a romantic dream floating on the blue waves.
Venice looks like a dolphin. With an area of less than 7.8 square kilometers, the city is composed of 118 small islands and 177 canals.
The bus can only stop outside Venice, you need to transfer to the local bus to the dock, and then take the boat to the island. Because I got along well with the tour guide on the plane before, the tour guide gave us a Venice Grand Canal Cruise. It's a surprise. With three couples and a tour guide, we can briefly introduce the scenery of Venice
This guy wore a T-shirt with an Italian flag
The Grand Canal is inverted S-shaped, winding from Rome square in the northwest to San Marco Square in the center of the city. It is about 4 kilometers long, 6 meters deep and 40 to 100 meters wide. It is the main traffic artery of Venice. More than 100 ancient buildings on both sides of the coast were the residences of Venetian nobles and wealthy merchants from the 12th to 18th centuries.
Does anyone remember 007's scene on the Grand Canal?
I really want to shed tears several times during the cruise. It's so beautiful~
As expected, the cruise ship was much faster than the traffic ship. We were just hanging out on the shore, waiting for the big army
There is a big hotel on the bank. The guide said that you can visit it on the first floor. All the famous politicians who come to Venice live here. It's just so on the outside, but it's magnificent on the inside. The security guard kept staring at us until we went out silently
Since the 11th century, gondola has become a part of Venice. Its thin hull and flat bottom are especially suitable for Venice's narrow and shallow canals.
Crowded river, gondola in line
It's also a wonderful experience to take gondola. You can walk slowly in the narrow river, surrounded by houses covered with moss. You can only see the narrow sky when you look up. If the boatman can sing a little song, it would be better. Unfortunately, our boatman is a fat uncle who doesn't want to wear a sea soul shirt
Sigh bridge - this is a sealed arch bridge building, from the inside out, only through the small window on the bridge. The two ends of the bridge connect the court and the prison, where prisoners sigh about the end of their lives, hence the name "sigh bridge"
After landing, we went to St. Mark's Square and visited St. Mark's Cathedral. In history, St. Mark's square has been the political, religious and Festival Center of Venice. Since the 19th century, it has been the residence of the archbishop. It is also the venue of many Venice festivals.
St. Mark's Square was built in the 9th century. Mark is the author of the gospel of mark in the Bible. Venetians regard him as their patron saint. It is said that in 828, two Venetian merchants smuggled the remains of Saint Mark from Alexandria to Venice, and built a church for Saint Mark in the same year. There is a mausoleum of Saint Mark in the church. The cathedral is named after Saint Mark, and the square in front of the cathedral is also named "Saint Mark's Square".
Inevitably, we arranged duty-free shops. After a tour, the duty-free shop was not big and very Roman, but we decided to spend money in Paris
Take care of your own lunch. Of course, you need to find a small shop to taste pure spaghetti and Italian pizza. It's really casual to choose a shop. The taste is OK, but the pizza is so thin. A meal costs 28.5 euro
Venetian masks are also very famous. Unfortunately, they are all made by hand. They are expensive and inconvenient to carry. So I'm sorry I didn't buy one to bring back
At 4:00 p.m., we gathered out of the island. At 7:00 p.m., we arrived in Lodi, a small town on the Italian border. We camped here tonight. It is said that the four-star level almost killed me
There is a large supermarket chain my Ladi near the hotel. Everyone went out to buy because the price is really cheap. We bought a lot of food and drink, which cost only 16.47 euro. The average monthly salary of everyone in Europe is 5000 euro, a bottle of plastic Cola is only 1.29 euro, and a movie is less than 10 euro
European cherries are cheap and delicious. We buy and eat them all the way
Day 5 [June 3] Interlaken, Switzerland
This morning, I was mainly on my way to Switzerland. I started at 8 o'clock. There was a couple in the group who got up late and started at 8:20. I ate and slept all the way
At 12 o'clock, the bus stops in the rest area in Switzerland. European bus drivers are required to take a 45 minute break after driving for 4 hours. It costs us euro to go to the toilet in the rest area. One euro at a time, we have to put the euro into the gate at the door of the toilet. The gate spits out a small ticket, which can be used when shopping in the rest area. Most of the rest areas in Europe are like this
The rest area met a Swiss man and four dogs
We bought a set meal of sausage and chips, a bread and a bag of chips. The price in Switzerland is obviously higher than that in Italy. Fortunately, the sausage and bread are delicious
After eating and drinking enough, we set out on time and arrived in Switzerland. All the way there are big snow mountains, big lakes and green spaces. It's really beautiful
Today is the weekend, the Swiss are driving a RV out for an outing. There are bicycles hanging behind the RV, swimming by the lake, sailing and canoeing, and many paragliders. It's so cool. What a wonderful life!
The scenery along the way is really eye-catching. I can't stop taking pictures with my camera. I'm not sleepy in the afternoon. I wish I could watch enough on the glass
According to the guide, only Swiss water can be drunk directly along the way
At 2:00 p.m., I finally arrived in Interlaken, a small Swiss town with English flavor by the lake, which is located at the foot of the famous Swiss scenic spot Jungfrau
Of course, there is a watch row in the whole street. Let's take a look at the price. We bought a Tissot watch, a Swarovski necklace and a Swiss Army knife for our family, which cost 346
This is the mysterious Alps - Jungfrau, a lot of paragliders
After a simple dinner, I had to take the golden mountain pass train at 5 o'clock. This sightseeing train is a self financed project, 100 euro per person, focusing on ryuksen. Those who don't take the train will continue to gather in ryuksen by bus. Before I came here, I specially checked that this sightseeing train is absolutely worth it. Facts have proved that it's true that we also met an old couple from Michigan on the train, We can communicate with each other in poor English
Golden pass sightseeing train for 2 hours, full of green and blue, we are quietly against the window, we drink beer and eat potato chips, life is really wonderful
About 7 o'clock to ryuksen, and then take a 40 minute bus to the residence. It's a small town at the foot of the snow mountain. Our room can see the snow mountain by accident, and eat instant noodles in the snow mountain at night. Beautiful!
Day 6 [June 4] mount Pilatus - Lucerne, Switzerland
Starting at 8 o'clock today, I'm going to mount Pilatus in Lucerne. Mount Pilatus is an alpine peak overlooking the famous city of Lucerne in central Switzerland, with an altitude of 2128 meters. The story of dragon on Mount Pilatus began to spread in the middle ages.
To get to the foot of the mountain at 9 o'clock, you need to take a cable car with four people in a carriage first, and then transfer to a large 360 ° sightseeing cable car to get to the top of the mountain.
It's sunny today. I just don't know what the weather is like on the mountain?
The oldest grandmother in our group is over 80 years old, and she has better physical strength than the young people
When waiting to take the sightseeing cable car in the middle of the mountain, it's really good-looking
Through the layers of clouds, we finally reached the top of the mountain
You can see the snow mountain in the distance. The top of the mountain is not as cold as you think. You can also see someone parachuting down from the top of the mountain. It's not expensive to ask 190 euro. We just have too much time, otherwise I really want to play
Alps Trombone
Mount Pilatus has a beautiful legend. It is said that in ancient times, a giant dragon passed by Switzerland and was shocked by the beautiful scenery. So he decided to stay here and made a mountain. The mascot of the mountain is the cute cartoon dragon
Ryuksen is surrounded by three famous peaks, Mount Pilatus, Mount Reggie and mount tielishan. Mount Pilatus has "the steepest cog rail train in the world", with the steepest point of 48 degrees. Of course, our group does not have this project, but if we come by ourselves, we really recommend it
It's Switzerland. There's a watch shop on the top of the mountain. After playing for a while, I'll go down to Lucerne
Lucerne is known as the most beautiful and ideal tourist city in Switzerland, and is also the most popular Swiss resort. The city was officially established in 1178. Churches and towers in the middle ages, palaces and mansions in the Renaissance, as well as century old shops and long streets and alleys are everywhere. Capel bridge and octagonal water tower are the landmarks of lucerne and the most frequently seen buildings on Swiss postcards.
Hoff Cathedral~
Scenery of Lucerne~
The lion monument is designed by Danish sculptor Barthel torvaldsen and carved in natural rocks to commemorate 786 loyal Swiss mercenaries who died on August 10, 1792 to protect the safety of the family of King Louis XVI of France. The lion monument is carved in a shallow cave. A dying lion, with a sad and painful look on his face, crawls feebly on the ground. A sharp arrow penetrates deeply into his back. His forepaw holds down the broken spear and shield. On the shield are the cross badge of Switzerland and the iris mark of the French royal family.
Built in 1332, Kapel corridor bridge connects the two sides of ryuksen. It is the oldest wooden corridor bridge in Europe. It was rebuilt after the fire in 1993 and leads to the octagonal water tower, the most representative memorial landscape in ryuksen. The water tower used to be a guard post for foreign invasion, as well as a storeroom and interrogation room for booty.
How can we not buy a watch in Switzerland? There is a street in Lucerne that is full of watches. We have done a basic investigation before and finally started an Omega diefei series men's watch. Although it looks good, it hurts~
A Rolex shop swept away
I left for France at more than 3 p.m. and drove for more than 5 hours. For the first time, I felt that my bladder was going to burst. Today, I live in the suburbs of France, but the conditions are the best
Day 7 [June 5] Paris, France - Tower - Arc de Triomphe
Breakfast at 7 o'clock, a good share for each person, it's quite rich
It's 8 o'clock on time, and it's another morning's drive. It's cloudy and rainy in France these days, and the temperature has dropped a lot. I arrived in Paris at more than 1 p.m. and I went to have lunch first. It was originally a table for four people. Who knows that the couple opposite us didn't know what they were fighting about. The girl ran away, the boy went out to chase after us, and after dinner, they moved freely. The Eiffel Tower is nearby, Follow the navigation and you'll be there soon
The Eiffel Tower is an iron hollow tower located in the square of Ares in Paris, France. It is the highest building in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1887 to welcome the World Expo. The tower is named after Eiffel, a famous French architect. The total height of Eiffel Tower is 324 meters
Man under the tower~
When you visit the tower, you have to see the Arc de Triomphe. The Arc de Triomphe was built to commemorate Napoleon's victory in the battle of Austerlitz in 1806. Therefore, it has become one of the four representative buildings in Paris (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Notre Dame), and is also the largest circular arch on the Champs Elysees.
To get to the Arc de Triomphe, you need to walk around the underground passage to get to the bottom of the Arc de Triomphe. It's free to visit under the Arc de Triomphe. The high arch and the relief above are very eye-catching, and the vault is decorated with gold, which is very exquisite. Inside the arch, the names of the generals who followed Napoleon's expedition are engraved on all sides, while the four pillars are embossed with Marseilles, victory, resistance and peace.
After visiting the Arc de Triomphe, just stroll around the city
Today's itinerary is very relaxed. I went back to the hotel early to have a good rest and go to the Louvre tomorrow
This suburban hotel is next to Disney. The environment is very good. There is a large garden in the hotel
Day 8 [June 6] Versailles Seine Cruise Ship Louvre, Paris, France
It rained early in the morning and drizzled continuously
Starting at 8 o'clock, you will go to the palace of Versailles. The palace of Versailles is located in Versailles, the capital of Evelyn Province, on the southwest outskirts of Paris, France. It is one of the famous palaces in Paris and one of the five largest palaces in the world (the Forbidden City in Beijing, the palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in England, the White House in the United States and the Kremlin in Russia).
The area where the palace of Versailles is located turned out to be a forest and swamp wasteland. In 1624, King Louis XIII of France bought 117 acres of wasteland for 10000 livres and built a two-story red brick building here to serve as a hunting palace. On the second floor, there are the king's office, dormitory, reception room, clothing room, and the bedroom of the entourage. On the first floor, there are furniture storage room and armory. The palace had 26 rooms at that time. Today it has 2300 rooms, 67 stairs and 5210 pieces of furniture. As a French court for 107 years (1682-1789).
On October 6, 1789, Louis XVI was taken to Paris by the people, and the history of Versailles as a royal palace came to an end. It was not until 1833 that King Louis Philippe of the Orleans Dynasty ordered the restoration of the palace of Versailles and turned it into a museum of history.
The palace of Versailles is the masterpiece of Louis XIV, the sun king, who indulged in luxury and showed his royal power. The palace brings magnificence to the extreme. Louis XIV took a bath only once a year.
The mirror hall, also known as the mirror Gallery, is in the south of the war hall and faces the garden in the West. The most famous Hall of the palace of Versailles was reconstructed from an open gallery. It is 73 meters long, 12.3 meters high and 10.5 meters wide. On one side, there are 17 huge floor glass windows facing the garden, and on the other side, there are 483 mirrors. The floor of the hall is carved with fine wood, the walls are decorated with lavender and white marble veneers, and the columns are made of green marble. The head, base and parapet are all gold-plated brass. The theme of the decorative pattern is the sun unfolding its wings to show respect for Louis XIV. On the ceiling are 24 huge Bohemian crystal chandeliers and oil paintings praising the merits of the sun king. In the East Center of the hall are four gates leading to the king's palace. In the Louis XIV era, the furniture and bonsai decoration in the mirror gallery were also made of pure silver, where grand masquerade parties were often held.
The palace of Versailles is too big. I can't follow the guide map. I can't tell the southeast from the northwest by listening to the interpreter. That is to say, I can't go anywhere
No doubt, I was wearing a down jacket that day, and it was not hot at all, and no one would look at me differently
We entered the palace of Versailles earlier, and there were not many people. At the end of the visit, there was a long line outside. We had lunch on the Seine Cruise ship, and then we went on the cruise
Seine River is the second largest river in France flowing through the center of Paris, with a total length of 780 km, second only to the Loire River.
There are many bridges on the Seine River, each of which has its own characteristics. The most spectacular and splendid one is Alexander III bridge.
According to the flow direction of the river, the North Bank of Seine is called the right bank, and the south bank is called the left bank; On the right bank is the main business district and political center of Paris. On the left bank are famous coffee shops and Latin areas, which are full of artistic atmosphere.
There are explanations on board, which are broadcast in several languages, but at this time, I just want to listen to Jay Chou's "confession balloon"
Notre Dame de Paris
Eiffel Tower
In order to leave enough time for tomorrow's shopping, the tour guide temporarily arranged the Louvre for today, so the journey was a bit hasty. When we got to the Louvre, we had to pick up the tour map and commentator. The Louvre is really too big. In addition to finding those national treasures, we have to remember the way all the time, in case we can't go out at the specified time
The Louvre is one of the oldest and most famous museums in the world. Located in the center of Paris, France, the north bank (right bank) of the Seine River was built in 1204. After more than 800 years of expansion and reconstruction, it has reached today's scale. The Louvre covers an area of about 45 hectares (including lawn) and the buildings cover an area of 4.8 hectares. The total length is 680 meters. The whole building is in the shape of "U", which is divided into two parts: the old one was built in the period of Louis XIV, and the new one was built in the period of Napoleon.
The pyramid shaped glass entrance in front of the palace was designed by Chinese architect I.M. Pei.
Every design of the tickets for the Louvre is different. They are very good-looking
The Louvre was built in 1204. At that time, it was only the castle of King Philip II's palace. It was mainly used to store royal archives and treasures. It was called the Louvre at that time. In the following hundreds of years, with the increasing demands of the royal nobles for pleasure, they continued to build gorgeous towers and unique rooms, and even were demolished and rebuilt. After that, Louis XIV became king here for 72 years. Until the end of the 18th century, this magnificent palace was presented to the world as an art museum in 1793. There are 35000 exhibits on display in the Louvre. At present, the Louvre is the most visited Art Museum in the world. The three treasures of the town hall are Venus of Milo, Mona Lisa and victory.
The statue was discovered in 1863 on the island of samotheres in the northern Aegean Sea, also known as the statue of samotheres Nagi. The author of the statue is difficult to verify, and there is no final conclusion on the date of creation. However, most people believe that it was created around 200 BC by Demetrios I, the ruler of Asia Minor, to commemorate his defeat of the fleet of Ptolemy kingdom in the naval battle. It first stood on the cliff on the coast of samotheus Island, facing the vast sea.
I don't think I need to introduce the Mona Lisa too much. You've heard a lot since childhood, and there are many legends. It's the representative of Leonardo da Vinci's highest artistic achievement. In fact, it's really just a small one. It's almost impossible to squeeze in and have a closer look under the heavy encirclement. It's people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors who go to it at any time.
Venus with broken arms, marble carving, height 204 cm. It is said that it was carved by Alexandros of ancient Greece from 150 BC to 50 BC. In February 1820, the statue was found beside an ancient tomb on the Aegean island of Milos, Greece. It is a marble sculpture with incomplete arms.
I went to the Egypt hall, which I was most interested in, and saw the mummy. The place where the mummy was stored was very gloomy. I was a little afraid and didn't dare to take photos. Unfortunately, I didn't find the code of Hammurabi
The time of staying in the Louvre is too short. I went back to my hotel after dinner. Today I live in the suburbs. I get up every day in a trance because I live in a different place. I don't know what day it is, what day it is, what place it is in which country, and I'm a little homesick
Day 9 [June 7] the Buddha in Paris, France
Today's itinerary is very loose, just for one purpose - shopping
In the morning, I went to the flower Palace Museum of perfume in Paris, and then I went to buy and buy it. Lord Buddha had four buildings.
The old foyer building, which was born in 1893, occupies No. 40 of Osman Avenue, close to the Paris Opera House.
Byzantine style huge gold carving dome
It was mainly in the watch shop in Paris that I bought Omega's women's watches with my group friends
Big bags and small bags bought a lot of gifts for relatives and friends. In order to save time, we both acted separately in the end. We had to go to tax refund at 5 p.m. and felt that our lower limbs were not our own. I bought a local hamburger, which was not as delicious as KFC! have a bath and go to sleep!
Day 10 [June 8] Frankfurt, Germany
Today is another day by bus. It's 8 hours' drive from Paris to Frankfurt, Germany. In the middle, I only went to the service area of France to have a rest for 40 minutes. It's more than 3 p.m. in Frankfurt.
When you get to Frankfurt, go straight to Rome square, which is the center of the old city of Frankfurt, north of the main river and the seat of the old town hall. The square was built in the middle ages, later destroyed and almost rebuilt. Today, the square still retains the features of medieval streets, which is in sharp contrast with the modern Frankfurt. Rome square is the symbol of Frankfurt's culture and history.
On the west side of the square is the old city hall, in which the emperor's palace is the place where many Roman emperors were crowned. You can visit it. To the east of the square is a row of semi wooden residential buildings built in the 15th century. There are six antique houses in this row, and each one has its own name.
There is a fountain of justice in the middle of the stadium. On the normal fountain, a goddess of justice holding a balance of justice is facing the old town hall. But recently, the goddess of justice did not see the decoration. The fountain below once sprayed red and white wine for the public to share during the coronation ceremony.
Not far from Rome square is Frankfurt cathedral. This gothic church was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. In the 14th century, it became the coronation place of Germanic kings. A total of ten Holy Roman emperors held coronation ceremony here, so it is also known as "emperor's cathedral".
There is no need to buy tickets to visit the interior of the church. The towering arc dome in the church is majestic, and the four huge pillars form a "crown" shape at the top. Although the huge glass windows have no gorgeous decoration, the good lighting makes the interior of the church more holy and bright. The central altar is quite eye-catching. The main altar was built in the 15th century, and the relief on it shows the scene of Jesus' crucifixion.
After visiting the church, it was sunny and rainy, only for a short time, but it made me feel very trance. Germany left a good impression on us all
In Germany, of course, we need to buy Lingmei's pen and Montblanc's belt, which are all arranged
After staying in the hotel in the evening, we went to the supermarket again. The supermarkets in Europe were almost the same. Because the group meal was terrible, we opened a small kitchen every day, bought eggs and cooked them with garlic sauce brought from China. This actually became the scene that impressed me most about Europe. We bought some beer every day, drank wherever we went, and even had to drink in the car. We bought fruits, eggs, snacks Cooking instant noodles, Margo really takes good care of me.
Today, the environment of the hotel is also good, the room is fresh, and I had a good sleep
Day 11 [June 9] Munich, Germany
Today, I'm going to Munich, Germany. It's not too close. The weather in Munich is very good. Today's lunch is also good. It's Chinese buffet.
Munich is BMW's global headquarters. The tour guide arranged us to go to the BMW Museum. The Museum covers a total area of 5000 square meters and is designed for "bowl shape". Next to it is BMW's "four cylinder building" headquarters. When I arrived in Germany, I felt that there were good cars everywhere.
After coming out of BMW Museum, you can go straight to Maria square, which is located in the center of Munich. Built in 1158, it is the largest and most important square in Munich. Because the new and old city halls of Munich are all around the square, Maria square has the city of "city living room" of Munich, and Bayern Munich football team also celebrates the victory here.
People's Square is allowed to set up stalls
The old town hall was built before 1874, on the east side of Maria square. The famous hall was first built in 1392 and rebuilt into Neo Gothic in the Renaissance. The spire of the old town hall was served as the gate of the past. It was badly damaged and the spire was not rebuilt until 1971.
The new city hall is a new Gothic style building, built between 1867 and 1909. The front of the city hall is decorated with statues of Bavarian kings, legendary heroes and saints.
The clock on the tower rings at 11:00 and 12:00 every day, and at 17:00 every day from March to October every year. There are 32 puppets of the same size to perform historical dramas. The content is the wedding scene of William V in 1558. Every time we get to the clock tower, the puppet turns with the music, which is very beautiful. We are very lucky to catch up with the 5 p.m. show.
After watching the bell ringing, the guide took us to the famous Royal beer house in Munich, which is also an important place for the German Beer Festival. The Royal beer house is a four story white building with a prominent blue "HB" sign on the roof. The facade is not big, but there are holes in it. When you enter the main entrance, the first thing you see is a souvenir shop. It sells peripheral products related to beer. You can buy them as a souvenir.
The hall is very spacious. It can hold 1300 people at the same time. The murals on the vault are quite historic. It was here that the first barrel of Royal beer was successfully brewed hundreds of years ago. On the left side of the main entrance is a large bar. The mountain like "beer glass wall" is very spectacular. On the right side of the main entrance is a small box, which can accommodate 70 people. The seats there were often reserved by prison officials during World War II. There is a music platform in the center of the hall. The orchestra in traditional Bavarian costumes will perform live for the guests. For a few euros, the musicians can play the songs they want to hear.
We left 20 minutes for us to experience. Several of our newlyweds got together and ordered beer in poor English, which was divided into 0.5L and 1L. We ordered black beer, which was super delicious. 0.5L of 4.3 euro was not enough.
There are many buskers in front of the beer house
After the experience of the beer house, the guide took us to the mianrui shop, which is not far from the beer house. How can the charm of the duty-free shop catch up with the beer house? While others were buying beer, we went to the beer house to have a drink of beer. This time, we drank 1 l of 8.6 euro. We were a little dizzy. We caught up with the live performance of the band. The band also drank and sang at the same time. The atmosphere was really wonderful. People of all colors, countries and languages gathered together and danced and sang with the music
Excited all the way back to the hotel, beer house can also be included in one of the unforgettable moments of European travel.
Living in Germany is good, from accommodation to meals, we can really see that the German is very rigorous and meticulous
Day 12 [June 10] fresco village in Germany - neuschwanburg - Innsbruck, Austria
More than 10 o'clock to the town of Ober amelgo in Germany. The town is located at the foot of the Alps. It is famous for the crucifixion, woodcarvers and murals. The colorful murals on the main wall outside the house undoubtedly attract people's attention. The colorful murals make the town a real mural village.
We arrived too early. Many small shops didn't open, so we had to look through the windows. The windows of each shop were decorated very distinctive and exquisite, selling handicrafts. Of course, the price was not cheap.
Go on to Neuschwanstein Castle. No country in the world has such a large number of castles as Germany. It is said that there are still 14000 castles. Among the numerous castles, the most famous one is the new Swan Castle at the foot of the Alps in Fusen, south of Munich.
The founder of new Swan Castle was Ludwig II, a king of Bavaria. This king has no talent to govern the world, but is full of artistic temperament. In 1868, Ludwig II built this luxury castle in the southwest of Bavaria in Germany. He was determined to create his own fairy tale world and escape from the real world. In 1886, seven weeks after his death, the castle opened to the public for a fee, and has since become one of the most visited castles in Europe. Disneyland, Sleeping Beauty Castle and many modern fairytale castles are mostly inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle. It looks so amazing!
It's exciting to see Neuschwanstein Castle from afar. Neuschwanstein Castle is built on the mountain. If you want to visit nearby, you need to climb up the mountain. You can visit the castle inside. Unfortunately, most European scenic spots need to be reserved, otherwise you can't get in. Seeing the castle at the foot of the mountain is different from seeing it in the postcard, or the angle in the postcard is better
It's much faster to go to Innsbruck in orldy from swan castle. Austria is the headquarters of Swarovski. All the buildings are decorated like stalls, but the price is really cheap.
Innsbruck means "bridge on the river". The classic medieval architecture is located in the charming glacier Valley, which is the unique picture of Innsbruck.
Some people say that Vienna is the capital of Austria now, Salzburg is the capital of the 18th century, and Innsbruck is the capital of the 15th and 16th century. Up to now, it still maintains the style of a medieval city. In the narrow streets, there are many Gothic buildings, Baroque gates and Renaissance arcades showing the style of the ancient city.
Maria tracia street, located at the foot of calvender hill, the busiest old medieval city in Innsbruck, extends from the Arc de Triomphe to the golden roof from south to north. It is the oldest and most prosperous shopping pedestrian street in Innsbruck.
In the distance is the city tower
In a small town with snow, Tian Jing is comfortable, and there are not many tourists. His heart is very quiet
The golden roof, a landmark of Innsbruck, Austria, was built in 1500 by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2657 gold-plated copper tiles. In fact, it is the three-story balcony of the central square in the heart of the old city. It was built by Emperor Maximilian I (Holy Roman Empire). As a royal box, he can sit on the balcony and watch the competition in the square below.
Anna pillar is the symbol of Innsbruck. At the top of the pillar, Santa Ana faces Germany to thank the Bavarian army for repelling the Spanish invasion. There are four statues of saints on the base: Anna, the mother of the Virgin Mary in the north, the patron saint of the Catholic Diocese of borzano bresanone in the west, the patron saint of the Catholic Diocese of Trento in the East, and St. George, dragon and spear in the south.
The two sides of the Arc de Triomphe are respectively carved with joy and sadness
It was built by Queen Maria tracia in 1765 to celebrate the wedding of her son Leopold and Princess Maria ludovica of Spain. The prince was later crowned emperor Leopold II. The two marble reliefs on the Arc de Triomphe were built in 1774 to record the weddings and funerals of the Habsburg dynasty. The southern relief depicts Prince Leopold's happy wedding, while the northern relief shows a sad funeral. It was at this wedding that Franz, the husband of Queen Maria teresia, died violently.
Tonight's B & B is really wonderful. It's a local villa. We live on the third floor. Our room has a small balcony. We can see the snow mountain. We really have a sense of the sound of music.
Scenery outside the room
Our villa
A sweet night
Day 13 [June 11] king's Lake, Germany - Salzburg, Austria - Bell Garden
Today, starting from Austria, we have to go back to Germany to visit Lake King of Germany. These countries in Europe are very close to each other. Lake King is the deepest lake in Germany. It is located 5 kilometers south of bechtesgaden, a small town on the border between Germany and Austria. It is a high mountain glacier melt Lake deep in the Alps.
This long and narrow beautiful lake is surrounded by mountains, and its surface is long and thin, which looks like a fjord in northern Europe. Lake King is famous for its green and clear water. It is considered to be the cleanest and most beautiful lake in Germany.
We can take a boat to the lake and see the waterfall on the distant mountain. We feel it's too hot, and we can see many beer houses by the lake. We haven't had enough German beer. We can have another drink by the King Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We feel very happy when we stay for a while
After drinking, walk around the lake to see the scenery
Starting from Lake King, we head to Salzburg, Austria's oldest city, where Mozart was born and where the sound of music was shot. When the bus stops at the edge of the city, you need to cross the mountains to enter the old city. You can see
