TIPS FOR A GOOD TRAVELLING

Nowadays, tourism is getting more and more popular due to the fast development of transport.  Many people consider traveling as a good pastime. But others believe travelling gives nothing but extra troubles.

In my opinion, there are at least 3 reasons for travelling:

·        A change of scenery. As psychologists say, it is one of the most reliable way to relax and have a rest.

·        You may find out many new and interesting things about foreign or your own country.

·        And eventually, travelling is always an adventure: it does not matter, if you met a celebrity, got lost yourself and your luggage or just escaped from the angry natives. The dose of adrenaline is guarantee of an unforgettable experience.

There are a lot of ways of travelling such as by bus, train, ship or by plane.

Of course, air travel is quicker than other means of transport. This is particularly true if you are travelling for long distances. However, flying involves delays and cancellations. You often spend more time waiting for your flight. Moreover, many people are afraid of heights and turbulence, and in addition, we should not forget about a threat of terrorism. Travelling by train is one of the most popular means of transport. Firstly, it’s cheaper than travelling by air. Besides, modern trains are very comfortable. But for me the main thing is opportunity to read a book, because I’m often rather busy. Some people think voyage is more attractive because of splendid panoramic view of the sea. And yet if the weather is bad and you are sea-sick, cruise is not a good idea.

Travel should also be planned taking a season into account.

April-September is undoubtedly the best time for a visit to England, and it is not surprising that at this time most of the attractions are opened to tourists. July and August is the peak of the tourist season, during which a visit to the country better be postponed. The least pleasant time to visit is from November to February.

Italy is a country with a mild climate. Majority of tourists travels to Italy in the summer, from June to late August. However, travel agencies recommend spring and autumn months, not only because at that time the number of tourists is quite small, but also because the weather equals to the summer season.

The best time to travel to France is certainly in May and early autumn months. For those who want to go to the Riviera for the period from August to September is ideal, and if you want to visit resort areas in the Alps, you can choose any of the seasons. If you plan to visit Corsica in northern areas, it is best to go in the summer and early autumn. But France provides the most excellent weather conditions for a particular type of holiday at any time of the year: winter is for visiting mountain resorts and museums, the summer is a lovely seaside holiday, autumn and spring are ideal for visits to the central regions of the country.

In some European countries, after the exchange you can get less money than expected. The commission for currency-exchange operation can sometimes be as high as 10%. Look exchangers with the inscription "No commission”.

Also I want to remind you of the things to take with you. Phrasebook. Believe me, if you really want to find out the features of the country, communicating with the locals will contribute to it very much. Guide. If the rest for you is not just lying on a deck chair by the sea, and you like to spend your holiday actively, then you can do nothing without a good guide! The best travel guides are Dorling Kindersley, National Geographic and Rough Guides. GOOD camera! It is very sad when after returning home you discover that all the pictures are blurry and you have red eyes on most of them. Traveler's Notebook. I think it is better to fix the good memories on paper! Recharging and adapters. Look what technique you take with you and do not forget the charger to each of it (after checking on the Internet does not need an adapter). It is necessary to sample the local food, even if it seems strange to you. Try to look for places that are not famous among tourists.

As for me, I would like to visit all the countries, if that were possible. Going to Italy, try to take into account that in most areas do not talk is not something that in Russian, but also in English. And the trouble may lie in wait for you in the most unexpected places, such as a restaurant or hotel. So take with you a phrasebook. It can come in handy. The best thing is to speak in Italy in Italian!

The Pearl of Italy, the City of Love. This city on the water is one of the most attractive cities in Europe. Magnificent channels and gondolas gliding over them, bridges, splendid palaces, churches and small houses, each of which is a masterpiece of architecture, and amazingly beautiful carnival masks - all of this are parts of the wonderful Italian fairy tale called Venice. Venetian Carnival opens with traditional flight of angel from the highest bell tower (70 meters) at St. Mark's Square to the Doge's Palace. The Grand Canal is the central water traffic artery of the city with a length of 3800 meters. The Doge's Palace that was built in the 14th century is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. St. Mark's Square, the largest square in the city, there is the Cathedral of San Marco. Next to the cathedral stands the clock tower Torre dell'orologio. Santa Maria della Salute is one of the most famous churches in the city, belongs to the era of the Renaissance. The church was built in 1631 in honor of the Virgin Mary who got rid the Venice of plague. Venice is gradually disappearing under the water. The ancient settlers were forced twice to rebuild the city, going up on the island. As you could understand, in several years I’m going to make travelling my favourite hobby. And I believe that the best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know and understand the people is to meet them in their own homes.
