北方巴黎、極圈都市、世界的盡頭 - - 特羅姆瑟遊記（上）：無敵夜景纜車與峽灣游船

Nov 25, 2024 | medium.com | Grace Chang

Grace Chang · Follow Just now -- 特羅姆瑟Tromsø，這座坐落在北極圈的城市，完全就是我過去所想像北歐的樣子，一面是山、一面是海，有壯闊的大自然也有繁華的都市景色。幸運的話，更有機會看見綠光女神的身影。山與海相鄰的特羅姆瑟六天五夜，日照時間一天不超過五小時，即使如此，我還是深陷在特羅姆瑟的美當中。不過，很可惜我這次去每天的天氣都太差，報了極光團也沒有看到極光TT，可能是上天要我不要太幸福吧（喂不過當初我會選擇來到特羅姆瑟的主因本就不是極光，而是特羅姆瑟城市的百萬夜景與壯闊山海，即使沒看到極光，我也不會後悔我曾選擇到訪這裡。到現在看著照片都還是會感嘆特羅姆瑟的美⋯⋯ 即便待在這裡的六天五夜，天氣都始終沒有放晴，陰天為特羅姆瑟蒙上一層薄霧，卻更加凸顯處這座極圈城市孤寂的美。（廢話不多說，直接上圖）陰天的特羅姆瑟，灰濛濛的天卻多了一分寂寥的淒美那來到特羅姆瑟，除了看極光之外，還可以幹嘛呢？說真的，特羅姆瑟市中心小小一個，步行基本都可以抵達大部分的景點，所以來到市中心大多都是購物、逛超市與用餐。真正精彩與漂亮之處則是在特羅姆瑟的郊區。...

Nov 7, 2024 | medium.com | Grace Chang

Grace Chang · Follow Just now -- 在維也納除了逛歷史景點、美術館與博物館，還能幹嘛呢？當初我會規劃這趟維也納行程，主要想順便參加當地影展：Viennale Film Festival（我的交換期間大概只有這個影展了，而且離捷克還很近），所以我放棄要往其他城市景點（如薩爾斯堡、哈修塔特）跑的機會，在維也納待上了五天。 p.s. 影展的攻略與心得文我會另外拉一篇來寫，因為可能大家來維也納也不會遇到影展XD 在維也納的五天，我們除了逛逛各景點，當然少不了逛街購物的行程啦！維也納逛街的區域，基本上就是內城區，各式商店林立，從精品百貨、紀念伴手禮到平價服飾都有。而大家網路上搜尋，最有名的應該就是格拉本大街（Graben）了！格拉本大街即在聖史帝芬主教座堂附近，除了格拉本大街外，相鄰的還有柯馬克大道(Kohlmarkt)，這兩條街大多販售精品較多，大家熟悉的名品愛馬仕、Chanel、LV、Gucci、Prada、Dior 通通都有（還有看到年輕世代喜愛的 Miu Miu！）鐘錶與男士品牌如 Rolex、Omega、Dunhill、萬寶龍...
【遊記＋資訊】維也納五天走透透（上） - - 茜茜公主套票，逛透壯麗の皇宮

Oct 29, 2024 | medium.com | Grace Chang

Grace Chang · Follow Just now -- 奧地利維也納 — — 德語圈僅次於柏林的第二大城，以「音樂、藝術之都」聞名。自神聖羅馬帝國起，到奧匈帝國結束，維也納作為首都與王朝所在地，保留下許多王室文化遺產，如：熊布朗宮（美泉宮）、霍夫堡、美景宮等。因此，來到維也納，必訪、必做的當然就是參觀各式氣派的皇宮、館藏豐富的美術館與博物館，和在音樂之都聆聽一場典雅的音樂會。熊布朗宮(美泉宮) 不過，這些看似華麗優雅的行程，背後的代價當然是荷包受傷QQ 維也納各景點的票價真的沒有手下留情，甚至連學生都沒有多少學生優惠，如果是跟我一樣預算有限的各位，不妨多做一些功課，找到自己最有興趣的景點參觀，以防期望落空讓你覺得白花錢！而我這次在景點選擇上，放棄了音樂與藝術的選擇（是說我也沒什麼藝術細胞XD），選擇將錢錢花在歷史景點的參觀上！與我同遊的朋友是茜茜公主（SiSi）的粉絲，而我也剛好對皇宮的參觀很有興趣，所以便買了「茜茜公主套票（Sisi Ticket）」。...
