European cruise guide

Europe is a desirable place with highly developed economy and civilization index, unique cultural charm and good natural landscape protection. This is the best choice for your travel. This is a guidebook for European cruise ships.

In fact, going out to travel is a very hard thing, and research should be started one month in advance.

From air tickets and hotel timetables to train timetables and subway route maps, we have to consult a lot of information and rack our brains to make reservations.

Coupled with the rush of travel, carrying more and more heavy suitcases around, running up to three or four cities, so tired that I just want to go home and sleep.

However, this trip to Europe took 1 1 day and visited 10 cities in four countries. The total cost is 1- 1.5W RMB, which will be cheaper in the off-season.

Because I chose to go with the ship, I followed the Viking cruise ship all the way down the river. The trip was reasonable and easy, so I didn't have to worry about it at all, and I didn't have to run around.

See the scenery every day and buy it at buy buy. If you are tired, you can go back to the deck for afternoon tea. This is really called vacation mode.

Let's share the route of a Viking trip. It gets dark at 9: 30 every day in Europe, so the days are long enough to let go of yourself and solve the troubles that you can't even think about in your daily life.

I was vaguely worried about seasickness. Later, it was found that the Rhine was very gentle, and the speed of the cruise ship was only 20 kilometers per hour. Without looking at the banks, you could not feel the ship moving at all.

The river view room with its own balcony is especially hypnotic when sleeping. Drink a glass of chicken tail in the lounge after dinner every day. When I got back to my room, I began to feel sleepy, especially regularly.

When you don't want to get off the boat during the day, lying on the sofa or sunny deck, drinking a cup of coffee and reading a book is the essence of European leisure life. It's so pleasant.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time I feel at home during my trip.

All the luggage can be displayed generously, without running around, without compulsory consumption points, and you can move freely at any time without saying hello to the group. There is a 24-hour food supply and even a huge tax refund form filled out by the staff for you. It's too simple.

Before it's too late, start sharing the eleven-day journey!

Switzerland

The first stop of this landing is Basel, Switzerland, a quiet town at the junction of the three countries, which is very suitable for walking after dinner.

The next morning, I came to Jungfrau where it snowed in June. Don't be afraid of cold. There are Panshan trains all the way. All you have to do is hide by the heater and watch the window turn from green to white.

Back on the boat in the evening, we also ate roast lamb leg and pepper chicken with a bowl of pig's foot soup, a perfect first day.

The second stop in Switzerland is Lucerne, which is the Swiss favorite holiday town.

The lake is full of swans, the shore is misty and rainy, and there are many small villas on the other side of the island, which are as beautiful as castles.

At noon, I ate authentic cheese chafing dish on the cruise ship, and stopped in the old city in the afternoon, and found a pocket watch that fell in love at first sight.

Who says Switzerland is "at the end of its tether"? Convenient to visit, but also want to support the elderly.

France

Further north, Lucerne came to France.

The first stop is Strasbourg, a very free and unrestrained city. Even if I wear dahongpao, I won't stand out, but I look like a gypsy woman.

Although the area is not large, there is still Paris to go to in spring. I saw the discount, in line with Paris. I lost Maje and Sandro's clothes and pinko's senior swallow bag, and put them on happily in Paris the next day.

Sandro, a backless dress with a little cheongsam design, was stopped by a photographer on the Champs Elysé es and asked for a photo. With such honor, I can finally be regarded as a qualified fashion blogger.

Because Paris has been here before, this special shopping trip broke away from the big troops visiting the Louvre and Notre Dame de Paris, starting from the Arc de Triomphe and sweeping along the Champs Elysé es to Machel.

Although every big city has its own luxury street, the French are so romantic that waiters don't care if you have the financial resources to buy it. They just want to share the beautiful things in the world with you. Don't give yourself courage outside the store.

If you have good feet, you can sweep out many secret boutique antique shops in this area. 1000 Yuan Burberry trench coat and 800 yuan Dior high heels are in my ecstatic pocket. Another day, I will write an article about tasteful antique shops in Paris.

There is also an old shop, Les suites, which is higher than Chanel's global flagship store. It is a collection of high-end gifts and accessories from celebrities for centuries, so gorgeous that your legs are weak.

Don't be nervous, shy bag. The waiter doesn't expect you to buy it, but he will proudly show you his beautiful collection. This is just a pleasant trip to China Fashion Museum.

Germany

After entering Germany, we went to the quiet and deep Heidelberg.

It was covered with moss, and time seemed to stand still. People who live here are like knights coming out of the castle, gentlemen and elegant.

(Favorite city of this trip)

The second stop is koblenz. Although the city is not big, you can see the sculpture of William the Great from a distance.

Some local young people are walking under the sculpture. As night fell, they gathered in the amusement park to play a roller coaster. I tried it once. This is a roller coaster adventure.

On the third day, we came to the famous Cologne. When I was visiting the cathedral, the little girl asked me, "Why is the cathedral so grand?"

I like the man's answer very much. He said, "Because people far away should know where to pray." I feel very poetic and want to spend romantic time with you.

Unfortunately, the day we arrived in Cologne happened to be Sunday, and the whole people closed their stores, and there were almost no streets to visit.

But everything has a bright side, and a more local flea market has emerged. A few kilometers along the river, I feel that half of Cologne people are drying antiques outside. I also found some brooches and earrings that I like.

But Germans who are good at logical thinking and practical work really don't understand fashion, and it is unnecessary to buy shirts and bags.

The real treasure of Germany lies in a low-key and easy-to-use pharmacy!

First, let's take a big photo I bought in buy buy this time, and then I'll have a detailed look at it with you after I use it for one month.

the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, I have actually been shopping for a long time. I am too lazy to get up early and I am not greedy.

The Viking cruise ship obviously guessed, and the trip was extremely easy. I could rest until two o'clock in the afternoon before getting off the boat.

And cross the road after disembarking, that is, the children's levee, blowing the afternoon wind and watching the big windmill creak.

The next day, I arrived in Amsterdam, the key point of my trip, and spent the whole day here.

In the morning, I visited the National Art Gallery and the Van Gogh Museum. In the afternoon, I stopped for a walk in the old city. Although the wish list is basically bought, there are many shops and antique shops here, so it is inevitable to carry two bags back to the boat.

After dark, the red light district will be full of excitement, the street will smell of marijuana, there will be bikini girls in the window, and there will be real-life sex shows. Come no matter how tired you are during the day!

(No photos are allowed in the red light district, only the network map can be displayed)

When I woke up on the last day, I was finally on my way back to China. There is a small detail that particularly touches me.

At the airport, one of our companions had a problem with the tax refund form. The staff of Viking Cruise patiently helped us to coordinate and negotiate, and traveled for us for more than an hour until we were finally sent to the security checkpoint.

I'm thinking, next time, I must bring my mother. With such meticulous and patient service, I can safely let her go sightseeing with the brigade. I can get off the boat and go alone. We can have a buffet together in the evening and have a good time. I'm relieved.

Most importantly, the food on the Viking cruise ship is unlucky. There are not only 24-hour restaurants and bars for unlimited drinking, but also chefs specially hired from China have two buffets every day:

Boiled pork slices, fish with Chinese sauerkraut, Hainan chicken rice and hot and sour powder are so authentic that even China's tricky stomach can gain three pounds.

Not to mention western food. In every city, chefs will serve local specialties, and even almond cakes in Paris are in unlimited supply.

There will be a seafood feast for two nights. Even if you can't finish eating salmon and octopus sashimi, even Jingui oysters will be supplied in unlimited quantities.

I didn't expect that my dream of eating a dozen oysters for the first time in my life was O.

In addition to my trip to the Rhine, Viking cruise ships also have a trip to the Danube, with a focus on Central Europe. I'm going to invite my family to take annual leave in autumn to commemorate their relaxing and wonderful family trip.

Where can an old man not like this gift?

The first half of the year has passed, so make plans for the second half.
