[English] 飞机——廉价机票搜索 一般来讲，在中国旅行最便宜的方式是火车和长途汽车。但有时也会有便宜的不可思议的机票。类似大名鼎鼎地skyscaneer.net，中国也有自己的廉价机票搜索引擎：去哪儿和酷讯机票搜索。 火车——提前订票不会更便宜 和欧洲不同，在中国火车票和长途汽车价格是恒定的，不会有提前预订即可得到折扣的情况。但是提起买票又是必须的——因为由于中国铁路运力与人口比例极大失衡，火车票的购买变得相当有难度。 购买火车票有很多诀窍，包括应该在什么时间、什么地点购票更有可能买到车票。在运输繁忙的时段，这些诀窍将增加你成功买到火车票的概率。具体请参考《北京地区2009年春运火车票购买指南》. 另外，借助网站也是获得火车票的一个有效手段。尽管在中国火车票还不可以网上购买。但是可以通过网上转让的形式从他人手中购得火车票。另外由于以营利为目的倒卖火车票在中国是违法行为，所以网上购得的车票一定不会比票面价格更贵，有时会更便宜。常用的火车票交易网站有： 火车票网（http://www.huochepiao.com/） 火车网     （http://www.huoche.com.cn/） 酷讯         （http://skb.kuxun.cn/） 城市内交通——公共交通异常便宜 与欧洲相比，中国城市内的公共交通难以置信地便宜。以北京为例，只需支付2元，你就可以在北京随意乘坐地铁及轻轨至任何地方。如果你购买一张“交通一卡通”，乘坐公共汽车至绝大多数地方只需支付不到0.4元。你还可以用这张卡来打公用电话、支付出租车费用甚至购物。 除北京、上海等大城市之外，乘坐出租车也可以成为背包客的一个选择。例如在成都，出租车的起步价格是4元，在市内活动6元基本可以把你送到任何目的地。如果有两人以上一起旅行，乘坐出租车往往比坐公交车还便宜。 一般来讲，如果你希望在夜里12点以后活动，除了部分夜间运行的公交车，出租车是你唯一可选的交通工具。不过也不尽然——你可能会发现一些私人轿车在进行出租车的营生。他们的价格比正规出租车便宜一些。但安全性不能够得到保证，并且这是一种违法行为。

Although railway and long distance bus are generally the cheapest way to travel in China, you can still find unbelievable tickets more often than not.

[English] Antes de mais nada: se você pretende viajar de forma barata em qualquer lugar você deve evitar os locais turísticos. Porém, como um turista, você provavelmente vai querer visitar os lugares mais famosos (e consequentemente mais turísticos) – e não simplesmente viajar por cidades das quais você nunca ouviu falar. Muito bem, mãos à [...]

If you want to travel cheaply anywhere you should try to avoid the most touristic places. However, as a foreigner, you probably will want to see the most famous (and therefore touristic) spots – and not just travel randomly through cities you´ve never heard of.

I have always suspected that it must be a nightmare travelling in Poland as a foreigner (who doesn’t speak Polish). And some research I have recently done only confirms my worst suspicions.

Just because work can be sometimes too stressful and tiring, we need to relax and enjoy our free time. There might be plenty of things you can do just to take your mind out of work, but traveling also gives you the opportunity to discover new things and completely disconnect from your everyday life. But [...]

This article is focused on events and activities in Brussels. In the heart of Europe, this tiny city (1 million inhabitants) is world-famous for being the seat of the European Commission, the European Parliament, having countless embassies and a gazillion other international institutions.

France obviously has all the public transport means such as trains and planes. However, the best and cheapest way to move around in France remains car sharing.

[English] La France possède bien évidemment tous les moyens de transports publics tels que le train et l’avion. Mais le moyen de se déplacer qui soit le moins cher reste le covoiturage. Il existe plusieurs sites de covoiturage où il est possible d’effectuer une recherche selon différents critères ou même déposer gratuitement en ligne une [...]
