给爱旅游的你：穷游欧洲的实用小贴士

Another huge money saver: We took public transportation, not only for sightseeing, but also to and from the airport. This means lugging your own suitcase up and down the stairs on the subway, fighting your way into a hot, crowded subway car with a big suitcase, etc. – but you will save hundreds of dollars this way. (I kind of enjoy the challenge of navigating public transit, so this part was fun for me!)
另一大笔省钱妙招：我们坐公共交通，不仅在城市中观赏美景，来回去机场都是如此。这意味着你需要把行李在地铁站搬上搬下，在炎热拥挤的地铁站中拖着箱子穿行，等等，但你能省下几百美元。（我完全享受那种乘坐公共交通带来的挑战，这部分对于我还是蛮有意思的！）

Stick to Free Stuff.
坚持免费选择。

Pretty much every historical attraction has optional fees. You can pay to go inside Westminster Abbey, the Colosseum and Notre Dame, and while all of those places are amazing, at the end of the day you will be spending hundreds of dollars if you go into every single one of them.
很多的历史经典都有额外的费用。你需要花钱才能进入威斯敏斯特教堂、罗马大剧场以及巴黎圣母院，尽管这些地方真的超赞，但如果每个都进去观赏，你最终会发现花了一大笔钱。

We chose to explore a few, but for the most part there are plenty of free things to do, so paying is really unnecessary. In London, I recommend skipping the huge fees at Westminster Abbey and focusing on the totally free (!) museums throughout the city. In Italy, all churches are free to enter including my favorite, St. Peter's Basilica. In Paris, the Louvre was worth the extra money, but I opted to tour only the free part of Notre Dame.
我们选择了一些，毕竟光免费的就够我们玩乐的了，所以花钱真的没有必要。在伦敦，我推荐跳过威斯敏斯特教堂的付费项目，好好享受城市中其他完全免费的博物馆吧；在意大利，所有的教堂包括我最喜欢的圣彼得大教堂都通通免费；在巴黎，卢浮宫绝对值回票价，但我选择观赏巴黎圣母院的免费部分。

Get a VAT Refund.
记得退税。

If you do some shopping in the U.K., save your receipts! You can get a refund on taxes at the airport by showing them the item and the receipt. Look for signs when you get to the airport for the VAT refund office.
如果在英国购物，保留好小票，去机场给他们展示一下东西和小票就能退税。去机场的时候别忘了找一下机场的退税口。
