Section 1345 Letterhead
There is a carousel in the square, where adults and children can take it. Next to it is the oldest cafe in Florence. You can pass by here to the Viccio Bridge or the Statue Florence Municipal Plaza. It takes about 6 or 7 minutes to walk on both sides. Yunluo and An Chuyun go to the municipal square first.
In addition to the famous Uffizi Art Museum, there are also replicas of the statue of David, as well as the fountain of the Sea God, the statue of Cosimo I, etc. There is also a special rooftop next to it, which houses many statues that are not known as genuine or replicas. There are two paid art galleries in this square, one is the famous Uffizi Art Museum.
One is the Old Palace, so don’t go wrong! Uffizi Art Museum is on a small road outside the square, very close to the Old Palace, and the entrance to the Old Palace is next to David. It is easy to go wrong when you walk the first time. The museum ticket is 8 euros per ticket. There are activities on Valentine’s Day and Women’s Day. The museum is closed on Mondays and open until 6 pm at other times.
The ticket for the Old Palace is 10 euros per ticket. If you want to reach the top (again again!), you also need 10 euros, but the joint tickets for both of them are only 14 euros. The business hours of the Old Palace are not fixed. The museum is open until 24 o'clock every year, the clock tower is open until 9 o'clock, and other times it is the latest to end at 7 o'clock...
Because there are too many art galleries, museums and statues in Italy, Yun Luo and An Chuhui simply regarded the old palace as the Uffizi Art Museum and visited it for most of the day...o(╯□╰)o Here we also remind friends who want to go to the art gallery, don’t see the gorgeous gate next to David and go in!
You can walk another 30 meters to the real art gallery! Yunluo wants to say something about the last supper. Because of several failed Italian dishes, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally couldn't stand it and went to McDonald's Sea next to Florence for a meal, and then... were so scared by the gorgeous bill...
The two of them are 17.5 euros, which is the most common hamburger, fries and drink that Yunluo and An Chu met in China!
It is also the day when the Pope will appear in St. Peter's Square in front of St. Peter's Basilica to meet believers. St. Peter's Square is said to be able to accommodate 65,000 people. From April 19, when Yunluo and An first encounter, the square is filled with various seats waiting for this historic moment (it seems that the Pope will have only a few days to come out to meet believers every year).
Before meeting the Pope, you need a special admission ticket. This admission ticket is free. You can ask the Vatican soldiers standing guard beside St. Peter's Basilica to collect it. The soldiers will ask a few questions. Only when you say why you want to meet the Pope. When you see the Pope, you will give you an admission ticket if the soldiers think it is OK.
(Don’t ask why Yunluo knows... Because Yunluo and An Chuyu were watching a group of people taking turns teasing Xiaojian Ge, but because Yunluo and An Chuyu had already gone to Florence at that time, they didn’t line up to tease him) Today’s itinerary is to go to the discount village near Florence to buy them.
There are several ways to get there for this discount village. The most cost-effective thing is to take the bus near the Central Railway Station. Each ticket for five euros is set to start at 9 o'clock, and then there will be a bus every half hour. But to be honest, it is best to get to the station around 8:40, because there are very, very many Asians going here to wholesale luxury goods every day.
When Yunluo and An Chu met the first bus, they lined up to 3 double-decker buses before they finished... The journey from Florence to themall is about 50 minutes. If you take the first bus, even if you arrive in advance, the door of the luxury store will not open. The unified business hours here are 10 o'clock.
Generally, new products are available at the beginning of each month. Prada and Gucci are flagship stores, and the discounts are very strong! So before opening the door, people can queue up here for more than 30 meters. In addition to Prad and Gucci (including its sub-brands such as Miu Miu), there are also big brands here: Jenia, Burberry, Balenciaga, Lavin, etc....
Basically, they are both Italian and British brands. There are no stores in the French Chanel and LV, so please be careful if you want to buy. As for the discount, you should be able to see at a glance. A suit from Burberry's suit is 499 euros and a windbreaker is 299 euros (also 599 euros).
And! The most important thing is that if you buy more than 155 euros, you can get a 22% tax refund! So a suit is actually only 390 euros, equivalent to rmb2700... It is cheaper than a set of color lented... So if you want to visit, please arrange at least half a day here to make a little use of your ability to buy.
But there are also bad things in the discount village. All the basic models of big brands, new models, and hot-selling models are invisible here! For example, if you want Burberry classic scarf, sorry not! If you want a killer bag for prada, sorry not! So if you want to buy these models, please go to the flagship store to buy it.
Especially the flagship store in Florence, there are all kinds of new models and sizes. Don’t miss it when you pass by! The good products in the flagship store in Milan have been ordered by fashion people! There is nothing else to say except buying and buying them. The only thing to note is that the bus after 4 o'clock is one hour every hour (it was one hour before).
It is best to queue up in advance, otherwise you won’t be able to get there at all... Back in Florence, I took the sunset and Yunluo and An Chuyu to go to the Viccio Bridge. This is a very famous bridge in Florence. Both sides of the bridge are handmade goldsmith shops. If you want to buy jewelry, you can go here to check it out.
But it was basically closed at 6 pm. Finally, it was still about dinner. Given that McDonald's was too expensive, Yun Luo and An Chuyu chose the Burger King not far from McDonald's to eat this time (well, it's just so unprosperous)! The result was surprisingly delicious (maybe Yun Luo and An Chuyu were poor and humble)!
For two people, you can add bacon and cheese to the burger, and 1 euro per seasoning. Yunluo must say that this is the best meal Yunluo has ever eaten in Italy...
The attractions mainly focus on the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers are mainly concentrated in the northern area. The south is mainly residential areas and hills. There is a very famous Plaza Michelangelo on the hills. From the central railway station, it is about 2 kilometers to Plaza Michelangelo, and it is 30 minutes' walk, but it is very laborious because it requires climbing a hill.
This square has a very famous sculpture replica David! It is famous for viewing the entire city of Florence. Every day, many tourists and cyclists go here. Today's itinerary is mainly arranged in Venice, so Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stay in Florence for a long time.
At noon, I took the train to the water city of Venice. It takes more than 2 hours to get from Florence to Venice. If you don’t live on the main island, you can leave early. And the more frustrating is that there are two stations in Venice, veneziamestre and venezias.
The cross-sea relationship between the two stations also takes 30 minutes to take the bus. Please be careful when buying tickets. If you live on the island, you must buy a ticket for Venezias, otherwise you will be rushing for 30 minutes with your luggage on your back. Unlike most Italian territory, Venice was previously the "Dule of Venice" in an independent country.
And I am very boasted and self-sufficient, so the boat ticket is more expensive than Italy. It is difficult to see ice cream shops everywhere in other cities, and there seems to be no fast food restaurants... The road is only one person wide, and sometimes it is easy to go wrong when looking at the map! In addition, the Jesus Arti Church in Venice is the only church that Yunluo has ever seen to ask for ticket fees!
It costs 3 euros! Yunluo vomited blood silently at that time... In addition to these, Venice is a very beautiful city. It is worth stopping to watch. Yunluo and An Chuhui arrived very late, so there was only time to have dinner after checking. After the recommendation of a friend, he successfully tried Italian food for the first time.
It is said that this is an old restaurant that has been open for a hundred years in Venice, which is very famous! But the name of the restaurant is Yuncheng, and the appearance is roughly shown. In a corner, if it is not very deep, it can't be found... The famous dish of this restaurant is cuttlefish noodles/rice, and it is especially recommended to cuttlefish rice. This is really the best Italian restaurant Yunluo has ever eaten!
Although I have eaten several restaurants before, I have no choice but to order food, so I can only order something I like, which is often not delicious... I have had supper because the day before was released in "Avengers 2", Yun Luo and An Chuyu specially found a cinema to watch. (I actually asked in Florence the day before.
But why isn't all cinemas in Florence launched the same movie together. There weren't a few cinemas in the city center, but only one in a faraway place. And it was only after 4 pm! Show! Every day! Only! There are 3!!) At least most cinemas in Venice are...
Yunluo, who has never seen a movie abroad, basically knows nothing about how to watch movies in a movie abroad. After buying the ticket, Yunluo and An Chuyu were still walking downstairs, and they started to occupy seats upstairs. Yes! The cinemas in Venice do not have seat numbers... You can pick seats if you come...
I finally found two seats to sit down (they won’t oversold it can guarantee that you can at least have a place to sit). After watching a lot of Italian advertisements, the movie finally started... I thought that for such foreign blockbusters, Europe should have English vowels and Italian subtitles like Yunluoguo.
Yun Luo should be able to hear some simple lines... But the facts once again told Yun Luo that Tusenpo... Can you imagine that everyone in the Avengers were speaking pure Italian... After watching the whole movie, Yun Luo only understood one word avenger!
Yun Luo was drunk even if he couldn't even hear Tony and Natasha... But fortunately, American blockbusters always look at the scenes and the plots in the future, you can know what they said before, so the overall understanding is free of obstacles. If it were a plot, Yun Luo would definitely not dare to try it if he was alive!
I decided to enjoy this water city well. Then I switch to the city of Milan! Venice is not big, but it is a little bigger than Florence. The main transportation is boats, but if you don’t want to take a boat, you can walk on a complete island. But here we have to remind everyone that even the locals in Venice cannot be familiar with this city.
His streets are too complex and too narrow, and the similarity of each street is surprisingly high, so. If you are a road ill, it is best to follow someone who is not a road ill... If you are not a road ill, please install a map and watch the navigation. It can lead you to wander anywhere in Venice!
The most famous thing in Venice is the Piazza San Marco on the main island. On one side is the most luxurious Church of St. Mark in Venice, and then the Duke Palace, the Correll Museum, the New Hall, and the quadrangle bell tower are all around the square. Basically, most of the famous Venice scenery except the glass island and the colorful island are gathered in the square.
The Church of St. Mark was the largest church in Venice when it was the Principal of Venice and the largest church in medieval Europe. So first, the gold edges on it are all pure gold. Second, there is a museum behind this church, so the lobby is free, but if you want to see any attractions in the back, you can get money to enter it.
It is said that Saint Mark, the author of "The Gospel of Mark", is buried here. If you have the chance, please be sure to travel. Speaking of the charges of the church, the charges in Venice should be frequent and expensive in Italy. For a single church of St. Mark, the museum behind the back costs 4 euros, the corridor charges 2 euros, and the golden altar charges 3 euros...
Another point is that churches need to be dressed neatly before entering, and occasionally there will be no need to worry about it (most churches in Florence, Rome are not cared about, but Venice and Milan are in charge). In order to enter normally, please prepare regular clothes or a big scarf...
(Yunluo saw a girl being stopped outside the church because she was wearing shorts. The girl pulled off her scarf and wrapped her skirt without saying a word and passed the security check...), but there is a strange rule in St. Mark's Cathedral that she cannot bring a large bag inside... So Yunluo did not enter because of this reason... and the bell tower next to her also charges 8 euros.
The Duke Palace, which can pass by the Bridge of Sighs, charges 16 euros... The Golden House charges 6 euros... The 30-minute ride in Gondola costs 80 euros... So all these attractions... Yunluo gave up! You can only take a look at the Bridge of Sighs from a distance for free, and pass by the free Academy Bridge and Ritoya Bridge. You can lock the concentric lock on the Academy Bridge, but because you are afraid that the bridge will collapse.
So every once in a while, the Venetian government would cut all the locks to prevent the bridge from being overloaded. The Ritoia Bridge is somewhat similar to the Viccio Bridge in Florence. There are shops selling small gifts on both sides of the bridge. It looks very beautiful from a distance. However, when Yunluo and An Chu met, they were renovating because of the World Expo. It was quite regrettable that they could not see the beautiful appearance.
Personally, I suggest that if you are not a fan of the Principal of Venice, you can go to the Vatican without spending money on attractions. On the contrary, the various trails and scenery in Venice are worth a good look. It can be said that you may not necessarily see a second city in the world with such a view. In addition, Venetian-style gifts in some remote alleys will be much cheaper.
There seems to be no rabbit car from Venice to Milan. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought a train run by a Swiss company in Geneva. From the overall riding feeling, there is no comfortable rabbit car. The most important thing is that there is no WiFi and socket... But no matter what train, it takes 2 and a half hours to get there.
There are also two stations in Milan, Lanocentrale and Lanorogoredo. Most of the trains arrive at Lanocentrale, and only a few stop at Lanorogoredo. You also need to pay attention when buying tickets to see which station you booked is closer to.
The hotel in Yunluo and Anchuyu Ding are very close to the Central Railway Station. So I chose this largest station in Milan. Milan's Lanocentrale Station is more than a little bigger than Romater Station in Rome... Various escalators... Each floor has a clothing store, which is worthy of being the fashion capital!
Celebrating their victory in World War II anti-fascism (watching them celebrating their victory in this way, I don’t know what the Germans next door think). Every year, this day, the traditional way of celebration in Milan is to parade and give speeches in front of the Milan Cathedral. So to experience the National Day craze in a foreign country.
Yunluo and An Chuyu abandoned other attractions in Milan. They were all focused on wandering around the cathedral to watch the parade. The Cathedral of Milan is the second largest cathedral in the world and a classic work of Gothic architecture. In history, Milan Cathedral also plays an important role. The "Milan Amnesty Order" issued by the Roman Cathedral to declare the legalization of Christianity was carried out here.
In addition, Leonardo da Vinci also designed the black technology lift of the church at that time! (In order to conveniently remove a nail that nailed Jesus in the church), unlike St. Peter's Basilica, this skinny church is full of various marble statues. With its absolute number of advantages, St. Peter, who is famous for his statues, is overwhelmed.
In short, unlike the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Virgin Flowers, which has the most beautiful dome, the skinny style of the Milan Cathedral and the softness of the Baroque architecture runs through the entire body of the church. But unfortunately, in order to welcome the Milan World Expo, many large-scale instruments were placed inside the cathedral to repair and clean the interior of the church.
