Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour. The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them, but that’s nonsense! What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized (清洁的) and unreal , entirely removed from the real sights, sounds, and smells outside.
The best way to experience any destination is by foot, without an itinerary, wandering where your spirit leads you. Even in the largest cities, the savvy(资深的) traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street, experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard. You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route--the museums, the monuments, the city hall--but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you’re visiting.
“But what if I get lost?” people ask. No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city. Eventually, a trolley or bus passes with the words “Central Station” on its front and you can easily return to the center of town. Besides, the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost, such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table. Hopefully , your trip may be attractive by this encounter. Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels:
