Travel Europe: SPECIAL INTEREST Travel Europe has provided the chief incentive for tackling this new-type guide to Europe. I grant that everyone who goes to Europe for pleasure presumably wants the basic information about practicalia, meaning foreign exchange, comparative Travel Europe costs in vari¬ous lands, "must" sights and the facts of transportation, lodging, eating, drinking, tipping, shopping and having fun, and these shall have full coverage, but I feel sure that he, and certainly she, is also bound to have one or more special interests or hobbies.
Perhaps you are strongly religious and would like to visit the famous shrines of your faith, shrines that have drawn myriads of pilgrims over the centuries. They, with their great events, are set forth under "Places of Pilgrimage."
Perhaps you are attracted by Europe's huge trade fairs, perhaps by the Continent's trends in modern and contemporary art, perhaps by its marvelous gardens, often surrounding royal or ex-royal palaces; or maybe you are wondering about the possibilities of student Travel Europe, for summer courses abroad, health Travel Europe to get some chronic ailment under control in a famous cure center, or sports Travel Europe, as witness or participant. I think you will be surprised by Europe's wealth of interesting answers to almost any wish, but I shall not hurl these answers at you en masse. They'll be planted where they belong, under their respective headings as each coun¬try is taken up. |
