4 months later(how to travel around the city)!



I wanted to update my blog from time to time but sometime it can't be helped. Sorry that i have abandoned my blog for 4 months and someone can and drop a comment "when are u gonna update mervin chew ???" and i realized that i still have reader who is waiting for my update.

First of all i would like to briefly explain "how to travel around the city" in Europe. There are a lot of website available for you to get information.

I would like to recommend you 2 websites.
1. about.com
2.wikitravel.org

Just type your desired destination and you will get all the information you need. about.com website will tell you the top attraction spot that you can't afford to miss out. Wikitravel will tell you the overview of the city, transportation rate/history/background....

If you need more detail information, you can buy the lonely planet book. This will be a nice book for travelling.

Another thing will be the public transport. Do check the type of public transportation available in the city you intended to go. Most cities, have tram, metro(underground), bus and even bicycle. Most of the cities come with package or promotion. For example in Germany, you can get a single daily ticket about 25 euro but you just need to pay 35 euro if you buy group ticket for 5 people. In Rome, the have Rome pass where you can travel for 3 days and few museums. Some even offer great discount during weekend. If you are student below 26 and you travel during weekend you can get offer price as much as 50%. Do check out for the transportation map.

You can also check the size of the city. Some city is relatively small. Example Brussels and Amsterdam are the small cities. Most of the interesting spots are located at the heart of the city and you can reach it by walking distance.

ok! i will be enough for this section! will update again later.
