Appreciating from afar is another kind of beauty. The wind blew my nose and I went home. The Champs-Elysees was lined with Chinese and French flags. I didn’t know until I returned home that the “big brother” was visiting France during those days. The Arc de Triomphe and the Palais de Chaillot under the Arc de Triomphe were under repair. It seemed like he was protesting, and there were organizers shouting “number one”.

I don't know why, but the sky cleared up after the rain. The Palais de la Chaillot is the best place to see the Eiffel Tower from a distance. The Eiffel Tower was lit up under the dark clouds, and the actual effect was even better. I didn't take a good picture because I didn't bring a tripod, but the angle is...

I am quite nostalgic. Today I planned to go to the Palace of Versailles, and then to Galeries Lafayette. But plans cannot keep up with changes. Yesterday, Sunday, Galeries Lafayette was closed, and today, Monday, the Palace of Versailles is closed. I am speechless. Yunluo and An Chuyu got up lazily and came to the RER line to buy tickets, but the chip credit card of Bank of China could not pay.

Then they prepared to pay in cash, but found that the machine only accepted coins, so they had to go to the manual ticket office. The staff told Yunluo and An Chuyu that the Palace of Versailles was closed on Mondays, so they could only look at it from the outside. It seemed fortunate that they failed to buy tickets before. They had to change direction and buy a day ticket.

I was ready to go shopping. So, I first came to Galeries Lafayette, which opened at 9:30. I happened to meet a Chinese group. As you can imagine, in addition to the crowds in the store, there was naturally a queue at the tax refund area. After shopping, Yunluo and An Chuyu started to shop floor by floor, and finally came to the top floor. The scenery was nice and they saw a few pigeons.

I'm even fatter than before. The beautiful roof of the Galeries Lafayette. The building in front seems to be the Paris Opera House. Unfortunately, I've never been inside. From the photos, it looks quite luxurious. I'll have to come next time. You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. This is a photo taken with a cell phone. It looks like a ball. After I came out of Galeries Lafayette.

Yunluo and An Chuyu went back to the cabin to put their things away and rested for a while after lunch. Then they went to the Luxembourg Gardens near the cabin. It is estimated that Chinese tour groups will not go there. Luxembourg Gardens is a park in the center of the Latin Quarter. It was built during the reign of Louis XIII. The park covers an area of ​​224,500 square meters and is now a gathering place for students and tourists in Paris.

The Luxembourg Gardens include the Luxembourg Palace, the seat of the French Senate, and the Luxembourg Museum, which often hosts short-term exhibitions. There are also many statues in the park, showing figures from Greek mythology, animals, and artists like Beethoven or Baudelaire.

On the central flat ground stand statues of French queens and a prototype of the Statue of Liberty. In Luxembourg Gardens, there are large areas of grass and trees, where people chat, run, listen to music, etc., but the strange thing is that it is not soft dirt or concrete, but a hard layer of pebbles. If a gust of wind blows.

It also raises dust. People sit around on green chairs, basking in the sun, reading and chatting... Spring hasn't started in March yet. After a while, it's estimated that this place will be surrounded by flowers and green land. It is indeed a good place for a walk. French cosmetics are no strangers to those who use cosmetics. In Paris, cosmetics stores can be found everywhere.

There is a green cross sign at the door, and there are many varieties. All kinds of goods are good and cheap. Yunluo and An Chuyu collected one before leaving. It is said to be the cheapest store with Chinese signs. Unfortunately, when I arrived, I found that all the staff were Korean. Some of the staff could speak Korean, but there were not many Chinese labels. In Luxembourg Gardens, after a leisurely stroll.

I followed the map and went to Monge Pharmacy. Feeling the street atmosphere is the real meaning of self-guided tour. Monge Pharmacy is located in the center of Paris. Take Line 4 or 10 of the subway and get off at Place Monge Station. You can find it as soon as you exit the subway. I saw a blog saying that it is cheap.

Especially for Asian customers, it is quite famous in Korea and Taiwan. When you walk into the Monge drugstore, you will notice the eye-catching red notreoffre signs on the shelves, which means promotion in French. Of course, there will be promotions in other drugstores. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought some in a drugstore near Galeries Lafayette.

Mainly because I met a Chinese shopping guide there, so she could recommend something. The monge drugstore is quite big, and there are a lot of Koreans. I also saw some French people. They were holding shopping baskets, which were full, just like buying cabbage. Later, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to the cabin and were surprised to find that there was another one nearby, so they compared it.

The store is not that big, there are not that many products, there are also promotional products, and you can also get a tax refund if you spend a certain amount (I forgot the exact amount). In the end, I returned home with a lot of stuff. Yunluo didn't use skin care products much, but under An Chuyu's strong suggestion, I bought Biotherm, but I still feel that duty-free shops are cheaper.

But some sets are still affordable. I didn't take pictures in the monge drugstore, so I borrowed the one from this blog./u/2543503824 This was taken by Yunluo, with the green drugstore logo and the eye-catching condom box, haha. Walking on the street, I saw a public bicycle, which is more powerful than the BMW motorcycle in Xihu City, so cool.

The following photos were taken at a drugstore near the cottage. Avene water is very cheap. Biotherm seems to be a duty-free shop discount. Of course, when there is a drugstore promotion or some discounted packages, I bought a lot of things at the drugstore. I had to go back to my little home, eat dinner, and then go to the Louvre.

It was around 7 p.m. and it was not yet dark, so I was just looking for a shooting angle. As I didn't bring a tripod, some scenes were restricted, but there were still surprises. The lights were on and the pyramids were reflected in the water under the light, which was particularly bright. I was also grateful that the few sparse tourists around did not interfere with the picture.

Pictures speak louder than words. Above: About ten minutes before dark, long exposure of the sky can produce a blue effect, which Yunluo calls Magic Blue. It is particularly obvious in summer and lasts longer. You must seize the time and don't miss this short ten minutes. Attached shooting method: Use an umbrella to stand on the middle gap and then use a bag to pad it higher.

I set it to LV live view mode, determined the composition, and then set it to timed shooting to reduce shaking, which is equivalent to a tripod. I stayed in Copenhagen for 1 and a half hours, and then flew to Helsinki. After all, it is Northern Europe, and the taxis are all Mercedes-Benz.

Since we arrived in Helsinki at 10:30 p.m. local time (Finland is 6 hours behind Beijing time. The following countries are 7 hours behind Beijing time), the OP booked the Rantasipi Airport Hotel near Vantaa Airport (vantaalentoasemat1) in advance.

A single room with breakfast costs about RMB 668. This is the most upscale hotel I stayed in during the entire trip. The rest of the hotels I stayed in were relatively cheap. The first day of Denmark is over.

During this trip, I found that there are many trams in Europe, and the body of the tram is quite long. The streets of Helsinki are quite spacious, and there are few cars and people. Finland has the lowest population density in Northern Europe. Sibelius Park (Sibelius Park), Rock Church (Temppeliaukio Church), Parliament House (Parliament House).

Helsinki Central Railway Station (rautatieasema), here let me tell you about European railway stations. Most of the railway stations do not have security checks or ticket gates. The platforms are connected to the streets outside. Anyone with or without a ticket can go to the platform at will, and there are no conductors checking tickets at the train door.

Just press the button on the door to open the door and get on the bus. Tickets may be checked from time to time. The Daughter of the Baltic Sea statue (Helsinki Cathedral (Helsingintuomiokirkko) looks out at the Baltic Sea ahead.

I stayed in Finland for less than 24 hours, so I only visited some representative urban landscapes in the capital Helsinki. I saw this very interesting thing in the terminal building of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. When you lie down on it and put in a coin, the lid on it will be closed, so you can sleep and rest.

There are even game consoles in the waiting room, which is very user-friendly. We chose Norwegian Airlines from Helsinki to Stockholm, which is a low-cost airline. All meals on the plane are charged. After flying for 1 hour, we arrived at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which is more than 40 kilometers away from the city. We can choose to take the train (about 130 Swedish kronor. There is no student ticket, and the time is about 45 minutes).

Or take the Arlanda Express (over 200 kroner for people over 25 years old, around 130 kroner for people under 25 years old, about 25 minutes) to the city. The picture below is a regular train. It takes about 45 minutes to arrive at the central train station (Stockholm Central Station). The waiting room of the train station is quite nice.

From the train station, you can walk to the hostel Citylodgestockholm that the author booked. A bed with breakfast costs about RMB 207 per night. That night, I stayed with a few Indians. Because the room was in the basement, the ventilation was poor, and the room smelled of curry. Uh, hehe.

Due to the time difference, I woke up naturally at 4 or 5 in the morning, and then stayed in bed until 7 o'clock in the morning, and started a new day's journey with my backpack on my back~~The first picture is the Central Railway Station, and the second picture is a few girls dressed cutely on the road. So I took a photo of them, and they also waved to Yunluo enthusiastically.

City Hall (stadshuset), where the dinner is held after the Nobel Prize ceremony every year~~Stockholm urban architecture~~Arlanda Express from the city to Arlanda Airport. The author is not yet 25 years old, so he can buy a student ticket, which is almost the same price as a train ticket, 130 kronor, and it takes more than 20 minutes to reach the airport.

When I first arrived at the airport, I was shocked to see so many people checking in. Later, I saw that it was the Swiss Airlines counter. I could imagine that they were all going to Switzerland to ski. The TV at the boarding gate was also playing skiing programs, which shows how much Europeans love skiing. Denmark also chose Norwegian Airlines from Stockholm to Oslo, although it is a low-cost airline.

Food and drinks are charged on board, but there is wireless on board! The Swedish host only stayed in Sweden for about 24 hours, so he only chose the city view of the capital Stockholm. After flying for about an hour, he arrived at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the city center. You can take the Airport Express to the city center.

The ticket price is 90 Norwegian kroner and the journey takes about half an hour. Norway arrives at Oslo Central Station (oslos) half an hour later, and then walks to the youth hostel oslohostelcentral (Oslo Central Hostel). Each bed includes breakfast and costs about RMB 222 per night. On the way from the station to the youth hostel, you will pass through a pedestrian street, where you can stroll around at night.

However, due to the time difference, I felt very sleepy at 6 or 7 in the evening, so I hurried back to the youth hostel to rest ╮(╯_╰)╭Oslo, France, France, Germany, Germany, the third day of the trip ended.

Most of the shops on the street were closed, and the pedestrian street was deserted. I especially recommend this place: Akershusfestning. There were almost no people inside in the morning, and it was very quiet. You can stand on the castle and overlook the Oslo Port and the entire city. The flight at noon flew from Oslo to Tromsø.

Scandinavian Airlines. After a 1.5-hour flight, we arrived at Tromsø, the largest city in the Arctic Circle. As soon as we got off the plane, we were covered with snow. However, it was not as cold as we had imagined. It might be due to the North Atlantic warm current. The temperature was only about -3 or -4 degrees Celsius. Monaco, Sweden, Norway, and Germany are located in high latitudes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The sun started to set at around 3pm, and it was basically dark at around 4pm. We all came to Tromsø to see the Northern Lights, but the chances of seeing them in the city are relatively small, so we need to go to the suburbs. I recommend everyone to join a local Northern Lights tour. The one I joined departed at 6:30pm.

Take a bus to the suburbs (the tour guide and driver will use GPS or call the companions in the suburbs directly to confirm whether it is sunny, because as long as it is sunny and there are no clouds, you can see it at night), the price is 800 Norwegian kroner. Finland France Denmark France Denmark Denmark took a bus from Tromso for more than two hours.

I came to the suburbs of northern Finland and waited for an hour before finally seeing the goddess Aurora. However, what I saw with my naked eyes were silvery-white bands of light in the sky. The green in the photo was the result of a 10- or even 20-second exposure with a SLR camera. Mobile phones and micro-singles can't capture anything.

The 800 kroner tour fee is worth it. I will write about the tour in the final guide. The fourth day of the Denmark, France, Denmark and Sweden trip is over.

The next morning, I went to the Tromso Museum, which exhibited some of the city's history. For information about Tromso's public transportation, please see the following picture: Adult tickets are 50 kroner and valid for 1.5 hours; 90 kroner for 24 hours. However, you need to buy a separate ticket for bus 901 to the airport, so it is recommended that you do not take bus 901 to and from the airport.

The ticket price is expensive! There is a bus No. 23 that goes between Tromsø and the city. You can use a 24-hour one-day ticket, which is quite cost-effective! You can walk along the path from the museum to the southernmost tip of the island. The scene in front of you amazed the author! Please take a look at the photos below~~Denmark The streets of Tromsø during the day are another scene.

Walk from the southernmost tip of the island to the northernmost University of Tromsø. The university campus is small but very quiet. The sunrise time in high latitudes in Sweden, Norway, Germany, France and Germany is very short in winter. Soon the sun will set again. In the evening, take the cable car (fjellheisen) to the top of the mountain to watch the night view. Tromsø consists of 3 parts.

The direction the poster took the photo was towards the west. The airport is on the westernmost island. The small island in the middle is Tromsø Island. The poster is in the Nordic continent that connects Sweden, Finland and other cities in Norway. The fifth day of the trip to France, Germany, Sweden and Norway ends.

Tromso small airport. Oslo City Hall (Oslor? Dhus) in Sweden Nobel Peace Center (Nobel Peace Center) in Germany Royal Palace (Detkongeligeslott) in Denmark University of Oslo (University of Oslo) in Sweden The host's flight from Oslo to Copenhagen was delayed, so he could not catch the flight from Copenhagen to Berlin.

Since there were no flights to Berlin that night, the airline arranged for us to stay in Copenhagen for one night. The sixth day of the trip to Finland and France ended.

Since I wanted to spend as much time as possible to visit Berlin, I gave up the delicious breakfast at the hotel and took the earliest Air Berlin flight of the day from Copenhagen to Berlin. I set foot on the European continent facing the rising sun~~~The flight distance from Copenhagen to Berlin is only more than 300 kilometers, and it takes about 50 minutes to fly there.

Overlooking the city of Berlin before the plane landed~~~There is no subway at Berlin Tegel Airport (Flughafentegelairport). You need to take the TXL to the nearby subway station. You can buy a one-day pass for Berlin buses for 6 euros and you can ride the buses and subways as much as you want. There is no ticket checking on the buses and subways, but there will occasionally be ticket checking on the subway.

So buying tickets is all up to you. The Berlin subway is quite old, and some trains look very old. Also, everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that the doors of the subway will not open automatically after arriving at the station. Passengers need to press the door button or turn the door handle before the door will open.

We took the subway to see the remains of the Berlin Wall (gedenkst?tteberlinermauer). Since the Berlin Wall has been torn down, the remains are now a city park with some audio guides. We saw the tram again~~ Berlin Hauptbahnhof, the station is very well utilized.

The top floor is for trains and high-speed trains, which go to other cities or countries. The lower floor has subways and urban railways. The Reichstag (Reichstagsgeb?ude) is not far behind the Reichstag. The Presidential Palace is right behind the Reichstag. When I went there that day, I happened to see Merkel receiving the Swedish President. Look at the two people next to the iron pillar in the second photo. (To be continued...)
