Journey to the West a · 2006 (Italian law West) to share some experiences

At the beginning tells the itinerary before share point in European travel experience, and hope to be able to help.

Visa

This application is a short-term visa Italy.

Whether a business visa or tourist visa from the Embassy to issue of the same kind of short-term visas. But when you submit the request, apply for a business visa and apply for a tourist visa required material is not the same. The main business visa, you need to submit: the other company business license copy (to other seal) and other original invitation letter (signatory to and commercial licenses of the same name), the hotel orders; applicants major tourist visa, you need to submit proof of assets (available on the National Bank), the accounts of the (all) a copy of the travel plan (write) and hotel orders. Do you think which task simple? I interview, next to a ' check for invitation name and different other licence was refused, and dumps.

On the check what the Schengen visas, on-line a lot of people say in what ever stay longer to check which country.

In fact, it's entirely in your own, there is no one to record your stay in the States the number of days. You are making travel plans, take a long time, and then to apply for Schengen visa for him, no one seriously at your travel plans, and what will not be logged to the system. For example, you check a Schengen visa to Italy, but do not go to Italy and no problems, no one would be your Passport to take notes. Schengen visa from any Schengen country landing and departure.

Now check Italy, need to go to a reservations center submission (in Xujiahui road, Guangdong Development Bank building, 2nd floor, next to the South and the loft), make an appointment for an interview, service charge ￥ 180.00.

Note go here before the copy is to copy it, or even multiple copying two sets, they often find an excuse to let you copy something, $ 1 a page. I have prepared a very full, or there spent 6 bucks for Photocopying. Staff collected materials will ask you whether you want to express service, or don't come at a cost to double, huh, huh.

Interview in Changshu road of world trade building, the consular visa centre in Italy costs 35 euros, you can pay RMB.

My first days of the submission, the second day of the interview, the first three days on the Internet found visa has come out, pretty fast.

Cash VS. Credit card

Before I go out in the Bank of China the international forex market prices for 900 euros, at the same time with a China Merchants Bank credit card out of the dollar international.

In Europe, almost all of the places you can use a credit card, including a small restaurant, very bad hotel, train, subway, bus ticket vending machines, etc., is very convenient. So come back later to inventory, cash spent about 120 euro, credit card spent nearly 2000 euro. But because it is in USD card, so you want to use USD or RMB also account, China Merchants Bank bills came up, carefully observed the euro/dollar exchange rate than the then international, each for 1 euro more 0.02 ~ $ 0.03 (possibly containing a bank charges, but there is no single out), I use this card to spend 40-60 cutter (if the repayment is RMB to more, its US dollar exchange rate of RMB seems to be still at 8.1), not counting does not know. The money can buy a pair of shoes, my money, so no, whining ...

Therefore, in cash or by card you own balance, cash, credit card security, anyway I will try to use cash.

As regards the exchange of money, of course, to the domestic banks changed for Adachi first, because only here you can really take the international foreign exchange market price change to the basic fee, and no, out of the country, anywhere else not such a good game.

Find hotels in Europe

Online booking before going abroad a lot of the hotel just to check with the visa, dive drop out.

Individuals from tourism, or want to live in province, European hotel prices into RMB is through the roof, and just a two-star of the Internet (conditions General, location you don't know, mostly without breakfast), at least 60 Euro a night, tax may also be referred to another. Therefore, or to find a cheap hotel in the local bar (price/performance than hostels high).

Europe is different from Australia is sparsely populated, European city of the hotel, particularly cheap hotels tend to be concentrated, only you find the right place, often within a hundred metres, 20 or even more.

In General, you can go to the local railway station and city centre square nearby traveller, such as the Paris train station, East railway station and the area between the Republic square (three are very close), near the railway station in Nice, Rome railway station (Stazione Termini) and near the railway station of Genoa (Stazine Piazza Principe) nearby Via Balbi Street, Barcelona in France station (Estacio de Franca o Terme) and Catalonia Plaza (Plaza Catalunya) the area between ...

In Europe, even the cheap hotel, health and safety conditions are guaranteed (but you still want to save money), but cheaper means possible room area smaller, older, is located in the decoration of ancient buildings (which I like), you may want to use a public bathroom (single rooms with inside, is not a child of bathing).

European countries generally have hotel tax, remember to stay inside before you make it clear whether the price includes taxes, often when another tax bill.

These tax even price you can live in the high season before talking about bargaining possible difficulties.

In addition, most European hotels have no slippers, simple things such as no toothbrush, its going to take.

Also don't forget to bring a power outlet conversion socket head, European specifications and China, Italy and France are also different.

Barcelona

Cheap hotel in relatively small, difficult to find, but also to charge 7.1% hotel tax. Go here to the best first book before.

European railway ticket

Travel by train in Europe, convenient and comfortable, and a longer journey select night train, both have lived in the hotel's money and save time, really worthwhile.

A long night train with sleeping-(very expensive OH), chaise votes (really can lie down and yeah, the price is only one-third less than Oh sleeper) you can buy. Short night train can choose second six boxes, usually relatively empty, can be the opposite of two seats together into a single bed, just to lie down. If the box there was no one, or you can put a balcony for all 6-seat assembly into a large bed and can sleep up to eight fork down Oh, very comfortable.

On the European train ticket (Eurail Pass), now home to Shanghai and Beijing can also be bought (Shanghai Jinling road, 8th floor, the Jinling mansion).

Use the Eurail Pass, valid time and regional scope any freedom train (some train and TGV booking seats and the booking fee), or you can purchase discounted cruise ticket. I carefully studied before you start this product because there is no travel reasons ultimately purchase. In General, the purchase of multiple countries of the Eurail Pass, especially the youth vote (26 years of age), and very cost-effective. To vote, three countries (any 2 months 5 days, three national common), the lowest price for adults: single/group/youth-306/260/199 euro, if in 5 days on two long night train is very cost-effective.

In addition to domestic now you can buy European railway point-to-point tickets, some long-distance train lines in the country you bought the ticket is also very necessary.

For example, from Milan to Barcelona's night train tickets more tense, while not on the day of departure, if you were to buy may simply can't buy.

Take full advantage of the tourist information Office

In Europe, almost all of the town, airport, railway station and famous attractions nearby are the official tourist information Office.

All place Oh, I've been to a very lonely mountain town, also has a tiny tourist information Office. The tourist information center of the gate are hanging sign with I, as the local visitor offers a variety of travel assistance. Anyway, I went to a new place, be the first to the tourist information Office to get a free local maps, is very regular map. These centres are generally also provides help in booking local hotels, post, sell local holidays, bus ticket, travel books and other services. (Why our country does not have such a body?) so the individual visitors to remember to take full advantage of these services.
