About Lausanne - Switzerland :)

I wanna introduce the rest of spot of Switzland. The first city is named 'Lausanne'. 

Lausanne, part of province of Vaud, it is located in the center of north of 'Lac Leman' lake and famous for the fifth city in Switzerland. It also has an impact even though called as calm city with historical structures and beautiful lake in. The 'Cathedrale Norte-Dame de Lausanne' located on hill of mountain has encompassed the entire of city with bright and twinkle lake. Also the big famous thing that the reason why 'Lausanne'has been well known is by the 'International Olympic IOC' header situated in this city.  This makes people called as Olympic city. The one routes for one day I recommend is (Lausanen->Place Saint-Francios & Rue de Bourg -> Cathedrale Norte-Dame-> cityhall-> Le Musse Olympique and Parc Olympique). This recommended route is to be able to by walk, because all those places are not located too far from Gare CFF Lausanne(station). 


About 'Lac Leman'
This is situated in the edge of west-south of Switzerland and called as the biggest city. The edge of the lake of west is near by 'Geneva' called as national city. At the opposite side of lake is located near by 'Montreux'. Between those cities, along with that lake, beautiful lake towns are gathering along all together. Also, on the south of the 'Geneva', it faced with the boundary with Fraance, so it would be easy to move to lake of France called ' Evian-les-Bains' by taking cruise. Traveler can easily see the lake of Lau Leman near in Switzerland, but rather than that it would be better taking a cruise to see wide of sight and all sides of lake.

NEW / Geneva - Switzerland

www.geneva-tourism.ch

Geneva is one of 3 well known cities of Switzerland and has national atomosphere living a variety of people from different cultures as well as similar with the culture of France. Geographically, this city comes out from France actually, quite closer and from inside of France underground. That's why the culture and image of Geneva is quite similar and same each other. The most of people uses Freench as language and mostly are used to use french but they are kindly using English as well for the visitors or traveller. On the other hand, since Geneva is well known for advocating neutrality diplomacy, there are lots of major international instruments located in Geneva.
Characteristics of Geneva
1. It is connected well with other main countries of Switzerland by train. 
2. If you are leaving from Paris to get Geneva, it would take 2h 40mins by taking TGV. (Convenient)
3. To get to Italy as well, it would be easily get there by taking night train into the Rome, Milano and Venezia etc.

Geneva is paradise for travel lovers. There is so bunch of international organizations to sightseeing and has been held some events to see. The most biggest thing is to provide free tickets to visitors to be activated the public transportation, which will be taking them from the main airport to the downtown of Geneva. You can get a free ticket beside of the luaggage center that you arrived from airport. But the thing is all prices you will get from Switzerland is significantly expensive than other countries in Europe. So to make sure be ready and plan for using your expenses by step by step, not the moment when you want. 

Tips from this website (www.unireso.com)

Recommended routes ;1day
Gare de Cornavin -> Rue du Mont-blanc -> lie Rousseau -> Horloge fleurie -> Jet d Eau -> Cathedrale Saint-Pierre de Geneva -> Mur des Reformateurs 

(1) Horloge fleuire
It is symbol of Geneva with 'Jet d' Eau', located at the entrance of 'Jardin Anglais' (park name). Also it has been welcomed all travel lovers, which is decorated with huge,colourful and fancy flowers. Although there are lots of parks around the city as well as 'Lac Leman', 'Jardin Anglais'(park) is especially great spot to travel. When summer comes, the number of travellers is getting increased and they takes a lot of shoots to get a memory. Especially at night, the nightview of 'Horloge Fleurie' is fantastic with colorful light on, which catches eyes more.

Travel tips_how to carry your money and use wisely

Travel Tips *
'How to travel wisely even though you have limited budgets on'
Let you know a few tips to spend wisely during your trip, hope you can spend money wisely as like me ,one of backpackers even though I'm also the basic step of backpacker. Wish you all good luck!

Let's Start! :)


1. Do make a group

If you are first time to go travel by yourself, it might be not used to do and hard to set your own budget to push into. So it would be better to depend on travel tour agency to save your money in plan on your hand. Or if you are reluctant to go with the strangers, it could be good another option that you can make one groupto lent a car moving freely wherever you want without place limited, which has at least around 4 people including person who can drive, to save transportation expenses.


2. Choose off-season
Between June and August is the peak season and already with the full of reservations to reserve all area such as airline ticket and place to stay. So, rather than choosing up the peak season that when everyone want to go, try to arrange your schedule to go in off-season when all activities could be cheaper efficiently.


3. Reserve your flight seat at least 5 months before
The first thing you will do if you step on your travel, you need to take airplane to get place you'd like to go. So, most of all recommend that it's better to reserve your airline ticket before 5 months before. Then, you can compare those prices,which one is less expensive than others, on fluctuated price.


4. Invest your budgets on specific area

Depending on types of people how travel they like to, maybe it would be different by each people what they pursue to do during traveling. It could be one of them that
focusing on eating representative dishes in each countries or doing lots of shopping. Like that, if the ultimate goal is to get a chance to eat different types of dishes in different countries, then put your budget mostly on that area and choose the hostel or sharing house to save money little bit by your own efforts to spend budget over half on eating instead.

5. Do enough research


Recently it is possible to do diverse research through different social media. For example, private bloggers make their own Facebook page where people can access to get a variety of information. We can follow up those page to see the up-to-date info uploaded regularly. Also as the other social media 'Instagram' which already boomed up, people also use the hashtag (#) to research the aspects of traveler views of travel spot by photos. Even if it is simple info with only the simple image or photos or videos, these could be helpful to be get used to be there before getting there before getting eyes on sight. Lastly, lots of books, these are the best research items to get closer to know about specific country before going ahead. Sometimes, some people don't prefer to read them, because they noticed that it is hard to be revised with recent info as it is book made by hardcopy. But, I think it is the best idea reading diverse books to get a pre-knowledges about those cultures briefly and widely during a short period. For me, I strongly recommend this way!

Switzerland-EAT

If we get a chance to get Switzerland, it might be sure that we should taste traditional dishes in that country. Cheese Fondue is one of the representative dishes in Switzerland. You might feel be successful at the end of travel by the tasting of local food in famous restaurant. 
'Mario Fittinaldi Restaurant' was introduced as one of local traditional restaurant by the mouth recently. There are more than local residents visiting here than visitors, that's why it is easy to feel that you are in the Switzerland.

Before I said, Cheese Fondue is one of representative fondues, but further more else there are meat and chocolate.


-Fondue Bourguignonne

This is called as meat fondue, which is made by shape of square meats that people put them inside of boiling oils to boil meat. After a few minute, take them out and put into with a variety of sauces on it. As a fusion style, people put additional ingredients such as shrimp and clam.


-Fondue Chinoise

This is called as a chinese fondue as one of the fondue flavours. There are putting lots of vegetables in the light soup and then eat with the meat or put on the special sauce on it.


Rusti



this is one of the popular switzerland hash potato dish. Le Mazot is located in Bern, most visitors come by to try Rusti. How to made? Slice the potato thin, and roasting with a few butter. At the end, put on the eggs or cheese depends on your types of eat.




Raclette (Melting the cheese, traditional dishes as well)



This is going by the melting cheese which made in Switzerland Vasis. This was popular in 1970, because the grill was introduced at that time to melt cheese well. Actually, this has different taste by the region by region from cheese. Mostly eat in Winter or Autumn. 


Travel to Switzerland

Switzerland

Always I dreamed to go traveling all around the world with my mom, as one of my besties as well as good buddy in my family.  It was hard to choose one area to travel among Europe but considered with the type of my mom, who always enjoy with natural and be with them. So, the spot I’d like to research is Switzerland. First tip we need to be prepared is to make sure tips how enjoy travel to remain as a great memories in life time. Interlaken is the place having beautiful sight and have been called as a little town in Switchland. It is surrounded by three tremendous Alps Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau. Also, it is well known for enjoying hiking with a beautiful lake and glacial lake as well every time in a year.

How to get Interlaken?
There is no one way train to get to Interlaken, so need to transfer from Zurich, Luzern, Geneva, Lausanne or Bern. If you reach to the station of Interlaken Ost or West, be make sure that monitoring to check the possibility of changeable weather. There are two recommended course to navigate that area. In order to hiking Jungfrau, it’s going to take about 1 day enough. If you start hiking, then better to go up in the Lauterbrunnen. If we already spent two days in Jungfrau, it could be better to do adventure sports such as paragliding or biking. I got a recommendation from the person who said you would be more satisfied if you get a great lodging with perfect location.

Four season is perfect to enjoy Switchland.

Even though the surrounding of Interlaken has already been famous for all traveler lover, here is the best place to feel thrilling to challenge leisure sports. Every year and months, lots of youths are visiting to be fun and pursue better life. One of things that I wanted to introduce is to do paragliding

So, before starting my blog, I have a towering ambition to let people,who are pretty interesting about going travel "travelholic" :),know about diverse knowledges of countries of the world and places they go, but especially this blog is about touring for "Europe".

During 10 weeks, I'll let you know the most hot places in Europe where all traveller wish to travel and suggest some plan or tips briefly recommended by online or books that which can be the most effective way and routines with less money and feeling more fun with your people.

I'm sure that I'm ready to start as one of people who really love travel. Hope that posting will help you guys out to future honestly.





Let's start to build up knowledges , and adds values into your travel!
Eat! Pray! Love!
