France

Eiffel Towels

It is not far from the hotel where we are staying, about 10-15 minutes away, so we decided to park the car in the basement of the hotel for 22 euros per day . It is recommended that you also go to places near the hotel, because your physical strength and energy are still limited, so don’t waste time. Sleep in a hotel. If I take a nap in the afternoon, the jet lag will be messed up and I won’t be able to sleep at night. If you cook a little in the afternoon and take a hot bath in the evening, you will feel very comfortable and the jet lag will be completely gone.

It takes about 10 minutes to get to the tower. Seen from a distance, there will be many sports facilities, basketball courts, and children's playgrounds in the square of the tower. There are also children learning to ride horses here.

You can choose to go up to the tower or go down to visit. Very close to the cruise terminal and just across the river. Friends who have time can go and see it together. We were hungry and tired, and looking at the long lighthouse, we had no choice but to give up. It is recommended that you make a reservation in advance.

Paris Metro

The Paris Metro has 14 main lines and 2 branch lines (M1-M14). In addition to the metro, there is also the RER (rapid rail network). RER has five lines, A, B, C, D and E, connecting Paris city center, train stations, airports and suburbs. The original poster didn't go that far. I can only give you a brief introduction to the subway. Because only the metro is used. Paris is divided into five concentric circles from the inside to the outside. The larger the number of circles, the further away from the city center. All metros (Metro) reach Zone1-Zone2, which is the center of Paris, and then you have to take the RER to get there, which is a suburb of Paris.

It is very convenient to buy tickets in the city. When playing for a few days or when there are many people, you can directly choose 10 tickets. 13.7 euros. This is more economical. Self-service ticket machines are relatively convenient. Choose a language. language. By sliding the scroll wheel at the bottom of the screen, you can change the type of ticket to be purchased, the number of tickets selected, the coin input, ticket issuance and change modes. It’s not a touch screen, it requires a scroll wheel, and it’s not very advanced. Nowadays, in most subway stations in China, you can buy your own tickets.

In fact, the form is basically the same as ours, so there is no need to carry too heavy a burden. But if you need to buy tickets for more than 1-2 circles, you have to enter your name and pay according to the displayed fare. It is recommended that you prepare in advance and write down the English name of the place you want to go. I have little experience in this area. I only took the subway 1-2 times and could get a T ticket.

How to ride

Check in and check out. But keep your tickets safe as we encountered people checking tickets at the transfer station. That station should be where you can transfer to the RER. When the staff sees someone with luggage, they will ask him for a ticket to check. Some friends also said that sometimes someone checks the exit. But I didn't encounter it. So it won’t be too much trouble for everyone to keep their tickets.

I have introduced subway transfer software before. I basically rely on that software to solve transfers between stations, but everyone must do their homework in advance, including the names of the two stations. Super easy to use. There are Chinese ones. This seems to be just the subway. 1-2 circles

Enter the interface. The first one below is positioning. That is, you can locate the subway station closest to you. The second is line introduction, that is, each line, and the third is site inquiry. The fourth is a point-to-point examination of how to ride the buses we need most.

Enter the name of the starting and ending stations, enter the initials, and it will automatically appear, then click on the route.

He can draw this picture, and it is dynamic and very cute. If you need to see details, just press the symbol next to confirm and the detailed route and transfer station names will be displayed.

At the Arc de Triomphe, we chose to climb to the top. We went to Xiang Street before dark, and then to the top of the mountain after dark.

The Champs Elysées is a shopping paradise. Girls, choose the brand you like and buy it. The strange thing is that I only saw LV’s flagship store on the street, and no other brands were on the street.

Climbing to the top of the Arc de Triomphe is a total effort. Are they all stairs, or spiral stairs? There is no way not to climb in the middle of the building, but there is a sofa just outside the humanized stairs where you can take a rest. Those with children must think carefully. But there seems to be an elevator, which is only for disabled people. It should be necessary to contact a professional for clarification.

Store Comparison

1. Brand: The mall definitely wins. Because SpaceOutlet only has one brand. However, compared to other outlet brands, the number of shopping malls is definitely small.

2. Price: Basically the same, unless there are some specially discounted products. This can only refer to prada. As for how cheap it is, I’ll introduce it later.

3. Type: This can only refer to prada. It is best to have a full range of spatial exits. If you're lucky, there's a current model. But don't think about that killer bag or anything.

4. Transportation: If you don’t drive by yourself, it is not recommended to go to SpaceOutlet because it is inconvenient and you need to take a taxi.

Price issues

1. I bought a Prada wool coat for my husband. The weight means it's a good thing. Special discount of 160 euros. This price is similar to buying any brand of coat in China.

2. I brought a wallet for my sister, with prada lambskin pleats and a long zipper. After discount, it is 1,700 RMB (there seems to be additional discount). I remember that the classic model is 270 or 210 men's short model 180, which is the same as coach 2200 in domestic outlets. Haha, I immediately regretted not buying one when I saw it.

3.Prada boy belt. The big discount is equivalent to about 1,300 RMB, and 30% off in Hong Kong is 2,185.

4. Gucci shoulder bag. The cherry blossoms I bought in Japan cost around 8,600. Here, the same black and blue color only costs 3,600.

5.Buberry wool scarf 145 euros. We saw it cost 220 euros in Germany. Not to mention cheaper than Beijing, much cheaper than other places.

Trains run every 2 hours and depart from the north wing of Munich Railway Station (out of the greenhouse to the north). When there is no direct train, you can take the express train to Kempton in the same area, get off at Buchler, and then change to the express train from Augsburg to Fessen after a while. After getting off at Fessen, transfer to the bus to Hohenschwangau in the square outside the station, which is only half an hour's drive away. Neuschwanstein Castle is located on a hill.

It is recommended that you take a bus up the mountain and a horse-drawn carriage down the mountain. Just going through it all. But I heard the carriages stinked.

Because I wasted too much time in the morning and had luggage on the car, I had to give up the trip to Swansea Castle. After reading the previous guide, I would like to share with you some points that need attention.

Tips:

*The best place to take pictures is Marianne Bridge.

*The hotel can ask for Swan Castle coupons.

*There are 4 parking lots around, making parking convenient.

*The tour guide of Neuschwanstein Castle needs to choose a time, and there is a Chinese version. Please allow time to take photos of Marienbridge when going up the mountain

Marion Square

It is the center of Munich, so it is also a must-visit place for travelers. Before 1807, there was a market in Marion Square. Today, most of the buildings surrounding the square were built in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a Virgin Mary Column in the center of the square, which expresses people's gratitude and love for the Virgin Mary.

New Town Hall

Munich's New Town Hall was built in three phases, lasting from 1867 to 1904. The clock tower to the west of the New Town Hall is also one of Munich's most iconic landmarks. At the same time, the bell tower of the new city hall is the commanding height of the old ring road, except for the Marion Church. The height of other buildings cannot exceed the bell tower. The bell dance on the bell tower is the fourth largest puppet dance in Europe and has long been famous. Every day at 11:00 and 12:00 noon, and from May to October every year at 17:00 and 21:00, the puppets on the bell tower rotate to the music, which is very beautiful. If you can catch up with the appreciation time, don’t miss it.

Terminal1’s Tax Refund Guide

Air China and Lufthansa both offer tax refunds at Terminal 1 of the airport. There are two types:

1. Checked baggage tax refund

2. Carry-on baggage tax refund. It is recommended that you fill out the tax refund form at the hotel, otherwise it will be troublesome to fill it out at the airport.

When you arrive at the airport, no matter which form of tax refund you choose, the first step is to check in. If there are consigned tax-refundable items that require tax refund, you need to explain it to the person in charge. If your English is not good, you can explain to them directly (tax refund). If your English is not good, the handling staff will probably understand by pointing at the box and waving their hands. (When we came back, we met a tour group from China. The tour guide gave us a gesture, pointed at the box, and waved back.) The staff will put a label on the tax refund luggage you need to check.

Tax refund can be obtained after processing.

1. Checked baggage tax refund: After check-in, the tax refund counter in area T1 is located next to counter 643 during the day, and is changed to area b for luggage from 21:00 to 6:30 the next day at night. At the inquiry office, the customs logo is a black eagle. When you line up there, sometimes he will ask you to check your belongings, but usually there are too many people, so he won't check them. The person in charge will stamp your tax refund form and hand them your checked baggage containing the tax refund items for accumulation. You can take the tax refund form, find the corresponding tax refund company and hand it over to them, either manually or by mail. There are Chinese-speaking staff at Frankfurt Airport. If you don't know how to fill out the documents, you can ask them on the spot.

2. Carry-on baggage tax refund: Carry-on baggage tax refund can be found by following the signs after passing the security check. Give him the receipt, he may also randomly check your belongings and stamp it. Just take the stamped form and go to the window of the corresponding tax refund company. You can choose cash, card rebate or Alipay for tax refund. There is a handling fee for cash refunds, which should be 3 euros.
