What are the must-see attractions in Switzerland? Some basic information about Switzerland

Europe is a strange and colorful country. The most important thing is that the cultural and artistic atmosphere and cultural landscape there have unlimited influence on people. Moreover, the local architectural style is also a major feature. China's traditional architectural style has been famous in Greater China for 5000 years, while European architectural style is more inclined to castle style. Therefore, when you travel here, the architectural style here can also make you find different beauty. My trip to Europe is mainly in Switzerland and Italy.

1, Wuyun Village-Colorful Fishing Village

After taking the train from Florence to Levanto Railway Station, you can take a small train between five fishing villages to your lodging village Manarolla.

CinqueTerre, located in the coastal area of Raspe, Liguria, Italy, is the floorboard of five villages and towns, including Monteiro, Souare, Mare, Vernazza, Colne, Leah, Manarolla and Rio Maggiore.

A day in the fishing village is satisfactory. We reserved a small room with an ocean view. Afterwards, it was discovered that the cover photo automatically matched on the itinerary page of the poor travel network was Wuyun Village, and the small window of our room actually appeared on the cover.

Wuyun Village is famous for its colorful houses scattered by the sea, attracting many tourists (mostly from China). You can get there by train between villages. If you want to walk, you must go through the national park between villages. You need to buy tickets separately.

The beaches of Rio

Rio Maggiore is the only village with a beach among the five fishing villages. The beach is ordinary, but there are many people.

Monterroso station

Although the seascape is pleasant, on the whole, Wuyun Village has a strong commercial atmosphere, which inevitably makes me a little disappointed. Probably because of the hype of domestic tourism. There are many tourists here, and most of them are from China, and most of them are traveling in groups.

Walking around the village, I feel that there is nothing but the cover photo in the colorful town of that house. The hiking environment in Wuyun National Park is not very attractive, and the tickets are expensive and the sun is scorching. We seldom live in a sea view room, so we decided to bask in the sun beautifully. On the beach terrace of our host family, we faced the sea and ate pizza. From the time when the sun was shining, to the time when the sun set and the night fell, we reluctantly ended the day.

A village that is gradually lighting up.

It is said that tourists are forbidden to take pictures because there are so many scenery here that many tourists can't understand it. Why doesn't everyone take pictures? The explanation given by the Swiss official is,' Nothing else, but the scenery here is really beautiful. I'm afraid that posting your photos online will make those who can't come here feel very painful, unhappy and depressed. After all, we are here all year round, no matter how you shoot, it is picturesque. Seeing this, I can't help but think of a sentence. Don't ask me why I am so proud. If I have money, I can be as proud as I want.

The next morning, after a day at the seaside, we continued to take the train to Milan.

This train is a separate carriage, with six people sitting opposite the passengers. After driving for a long time, you can always see the sea view outside the window.

2. Fort Sforescu

When I arrived in Mulan, the fashion capital, my style changed instantly.

Milan Railway Station is resplendent and bustling. When we arrived here, we felt like a big city again.

Milan railway station

Milan is a big city with a subway. Take the subway to live in the railway station. The room is simple and comfortable, and the accommodation is as convenient as ever. Next to Milan Cathedral, most of the scenic spots are within walking distance.

After simple repairs, the first stop to Milan, Fort Sforzesko.

This castle was built by Count sforza in the14th century, and later became the residence of the Forza family, the ruling family centered on Milan in the Renaissance.

The castle is square, with a big park and high walls around it. There is an internal museum. Later, in the process of expansion, Leonardo da Vinci also participated in the planning of the castle.

In the castle

Here, I met a group of Italian handsome guys in suits and ties performing on the roadside. All kinds of musical instruments play together and sing in unison, and the music is very cheerful. And they changed their legs so cute that I was completely fascinated. After pulling it several times, Teacher L could not bear to leave. Italy is really a country of handsome guys. Italian handsome guy looks so handsome in a suit. Unfortunately, too many people watched it, leaving no high-definition close-ups.

Wonderful performance and chorus of handsome suit group

Stop near the castle.

There are sunbathers on the park grass next to the castle. Sunbathing here, just like dancing in square dance, is a popular way for people to relax. Even dogs have this hobby.

Sunbather. And dogs.

At the end of the grass is the Peace Gate. The source of this door can be said to be quite embarrassing. 1807, Napoleon built the Arc de Triomphe to celebrate his victory in the European War. Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo before the city gate was built. 1826 After the war, Milan ruler Francisco renamed the Arc de Triomphe the Gate of Peace. Above the gate is a bronze statue of the goddess of peace, holding an olive branch and standing on a chariot of six horses.

Milan is definitely a big city in Italy. For environmental protection, the trams here are ordinary, simple and lovely.

Take a tram

Take the tram to Santa Maria Abbey. The monastery itself is not well-known, just because the mural of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is here. Because I didn't make a reservation in advance, I simply visited and left.

St Mary's Abbey

3. Milan Cathedral

The next day, I came to Milan Cathedral. When I first saw the cathedral, I was really shocked. Here, I also know that Tama, which is often seen in every city, originally means the main church.

Dommodi Milan is located in the cathedral square in the center of Milan, Italy. The architectural style here is the most distinctive, and many architectural styles are adopted, which is a combination of different architectural styles. If you are an architectural enthusiast here, you will be full of praise when you come here. Many tourists are attracted by the architectural style here.

Next to the church

There are many pigeons in the square in front of the church, which is the most pigeons in Europe I have ever seen.

In the square, we actually met a couple taking wedding photos, which attracted everyone to watch. Not surprisingly, they are from China. After walking so far, it is still inevitable that comrades will take wedding photos at scenic spots. But this dress is hard enough on such a hot day.

Couples taking wedding photos in front of the cathedral.

The square in front of the cathedral has become a must-see attraction for wedding photos. Looking at the front of the cathedral from a distance, it feels more like a crown.

We bought tickets to climb the top of the cathedral, and many tourists lined up to climb the top. We waited in line for two hours in the scorching sun, and finally found that we were in the wrong line. The elevator team and the stair team are actually lined up separately. I had to go back to the hiking team to reorganize, and the foreigner couple who had been following us watched us leave with very sympathetic eyes.

The small steeple decorated on the upper part of the church is complicated from a distance. Look carefully at its structure, its shape is complex and its forms are different. No wonder this church has been built for six centuries. I once heard that western cathedrals were restored for centuries and then returned to unknown places, so seeing is believing.

After visiting the church, go to the Emanuel II promenade next to the cathedral.

Emanuel II Promenade was built in 1865, with a cross structure as a whole. It is an important shopping destination in Milan, with many luxury brand stores and many unique cafes, restaurants and bookstores. There is also a seven-star hotel townhouse in the promenade. In addition, there is a China Industrial and Commercial Bank.

Here, we can see that some shops in China market have closed. It can be seen that our products in China have gradually gone global. As a China person, when I saw these things, I felt very proud.

4. Fashion Quadrilateral and Milan Canal

When you arrive in Milan, you still have to stroll along Milan's canals and feel the ancient Milan customs. Because the Canal Zone is an old street in Milan, there are many small shops and artists' studios along the coast. We walked along the canal for a while, which was very charming.

Finally, of course, we will go to the fashion quadrangle, the representative place of the fashion capital.

Fashion quadrangle is located in the first district of Milan. This is a business district surrounded by four streets, where many shops and studios of the most important fashion brands are concentrated. The four streets are via Montenapoleone, via Manzoni, via della Spiga and corso Venezia.

Many girls should be very excited to come here for pilgrimage. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it, so I wandered around unknown so, visited the beautiful women bought in buy buy and the luxury cars on the roadside. On the way, he met a China man who bought it with his family buy buy. He wore a big gold chain with thick fingers around his neck, which really surprised me. No wonder many people abroad look at Chinese people just like RMB.

Luxury cars on the roadside

If the five fishing villages are colorful in nature, then Milan is full of fashion. As a tourist from China, these two seem to be no strangers; However, setting foot on this land can still make people feel helpless, which shows its charm. On the journey through the south of Milan, we are about to reach Como, a small town on the Italian-Swiss border, which is the last stop of our trip to Italy.

About flow

I chose the Swiss Pass, which can be purchased on Euromonitor. The Swiss Pass is applicable to trains (excluding mountaineering trains of private railway companies), ships (including trains from Lake Lyman to France), public transport and most castles and museums. Jungfrau special train, Matterhorn mountaineering train, etc. Pass can enjoy different degrees of concessions.

There are two kinds of passing in Switzerland: continuous passing and intermittent passing. For discontinuous, the date of using Swiss Pass should be determined in advance. A continuous pass can be used continuously within the validity period.

[About the museum there]

When you go to Italy, you naturally have to visit those magnificent museums. Although I don't know much about art, it is necessary to visit. Many museums can be booked in advance, usually two months in advance. Booking in advance can avoid the trouble of queuing.
