仔细看其中一个塔尖——真正靠近去看——这座建于17世纪的名为“我们的救世主”的教堂。勇敢的人可能会爬上那在尖塔外蜿蜒而上直通塔顶的150层阶梯。如果你恐高，或者当天的风很大，那就免了吧。不过，你会因此而错过那壮观的景色。
当你再次站在地面时(你会喜欢这种感觉的)，你可以通过最近的桥到城堡岛。前方有个1619年建造的欧洲最古老的证券交易中心，上面的塔尖奇特而又宏伟。塔尖由三只龙尾缠绕而成，分别代表丹麦、瑞典和挪威。
继续往前，走到基斯汀堡。哥本哈根源自此处。停下来游览这个中世纪的古堡。议院和皇家接待室也同样开放，然后继续往尼哈芬走，它是1673年由士兵挖掘的一条狭窄水道。你会明白为什么汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生会把这个迷人的水道当成自己的家。通过公寓窗外的一面特制的镜子，他能够看到外面的世界而又不被人发现。
尼哈芬是个宁静的地方，它也是个逗留和观看行人的理想之地。虽然他们是欧洲的有钱人，但是穿着都很随意。
要看丹麦人嬉乐，要想自己找点乐趣，你可以穿过安徒生大道，进入提弗利花园，在这儿你是不会寂寞的。每年有500多万人来此旅游。他们来这里跳舞、就餐、欣赏户外和室內音乐会，看芭蕾舞表演和喜剧。给你一个建议：多带些钱。这里有20多家本城最昂贵的餐厅。即使没有钱，你仍可以欣赏那些骄傲的老树、五光十色的彩灯，以及美丽的花园。你会觉得自己已置身于童话故事中了。

第一章 The Allure and Charm of Paris
巴黎，浪漫之都
Ah, beautiful Paris. For centuries this city has attracted the admiration of the world. The allure and charm of Paris captivate all who visit there.
Where can you discover the charm of Paris for yourself? Is it in the legacy of this beautiful city ? Is it in the famous castles, palaces, statues and monuments, such as the Eiffel Tower? Can you find it in the world-class museums, such as the Louvre? Perhaps Paris’ allure lies in the zest and style of the Parisians.
When you visit Paris, you don’t have to spend all of your time visiting museums and monuments. They are certainly worthy of your time, but ignore them for a day. First take some time to look around and experience life in Paris. You’ll find it charming.
Take a stroll along the Seine River. Browse through the art vendors, colorful paintings. Peek through delicate iron gates at the well-kept gardens. Watch closely for the French attention to detail that has made France synonymous with good taste. You will see it in the design of a doorway or arch and in the Little fountains and quaint balconies. No matter where you look, you will find everyday objects transformed into works of art.
Spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an old bench. Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment, try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe. Strike up a conversation with a Parisian. This isn’t always easy, though. With such a large international population living in Paris, true natives are hard to find these days.
As evening comes to Paris, enchantment rises with the mist over the riverfront. You may hear music from an outdoor concert nearby: classical, jazz, opera or chansons, those French folk songs. Parisians Love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. In Paris the Music never ends.
Don’t miss the highlight of the Paris evening: eating out. Parisians are proud of their cuisine. And rightly so； it’s world famous. Gourmet dining is one of the indispensable joys of living. You need a special guidebook to help you choose one of the hundreds of excellent restaurants. The capital of France boasts every regional specialty, cheese and wine the country has to offer. If you don’t know what to order, ask for the suggested menu. The chef likes to showcase his best dishes there. Remember, you haven’t tasted the true flavor of France until you’ve dined at a French restaurant in Paris.
After your gourmet dinner, take a walking tour of the floodlit monuments. Cross the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in the city, to the Ile de la Cite. The most famous landmark of Paris looms up in front of you the Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedral of Our Lady). Stand in the square in front of the cathedral. Here, you are standing in the center of France. All distances are measured from the front of Notre Dame. Every road in France leads to her front door. Notre Dame is the heart of Paris and the heart of France.
啊，美丽的巴黎！几个世纪以来，这个城市让整个世界对它心生羡慕。巴黎的诱惑与魅力吸引了所有到此游玩的人。
巴黎在哪些地方吸引你呢？是这座美丽城市的遗迹呢？还是那些有名的城堡、皇宫雕像和纪念碑，例如艾菲尔铁塔？亦或是像卢浮宫这样的世界一流博物馆呢？或许巴黎的诱惑力在于巴黎人的特殊品味和风格。
当你到巴黎游玩时，别把时间全都花在博物馆和纪念碑上面。它们绝对值得你看，但今天先忘掉它们吧。首先来四处看看，并体验一下巴黎的生活。你会发现它的迷人之处。
当你沿着塞纳河漫步时，你可以观赏艺术家们丰富多彩的绘画。透过那些精致的铁门，你可以看到里面精心呵护的花园。法国人很关注细节，这使得法国成为“好品味”的代名词。你可以从门廊、拱门、小喷泉和古怪有趣的走廊的设计上看到这一点。不管你往哪里看，你都能发现日常物品已经被他们变成了艺术品。
你可以花些时间，在一个安静的公园里的旧板凳上放松一下。你也可以躺在青草地上。想吃点心的时候，尝尝路边咖啡店的咖啡和点心。找一个巴黎人展开一段会话，但这也不太容易。在这个国际化的大都市里，想找到一个巴黎本地人并不是件易事。
到了傍晚时分，随着码头上的雾气升起，巴黎的诱惑力也随之而起。你也会听到附近室外音乐会所演奏的乐曲。古典、爵士、歌剧或是香颂、即法国的民歌。巴黎人热爱自己的音乐，繁星点缀的天空，就是他们演奏的大礼堂。你也可以在城堡或教堂里聆听音乐会。在巴黎，音乐是不会停止的。
别错过了巴黎夜晚的精彩节目：下馆子。巴黎人对其烹饪是非常自豪的。理当如此，因为它世界闻名。美食本来就是与生活享乐不可分割的。为了帮你在几百家绝佳的餐厅中作出选择，你需要一本特别的指南。法国的首都以各地的特色风味、乳酪和酒著称于世，如果你不知道该点什么，可以要菜单来看。大厨喜欢在此将他最拿手的菜作一番橱窗展示。请记住，在你尚未在巴黎的法国餐厅里吃过饭之前，都不算尝过真正的法国风味。
在你的美食晚餐之后，可以去看看被聚光灯照耀的纪念碑。穿过第九桥，这座巴黎最古老的桥，到达城市之岛。巴黎最有名的标志即隐约地呈现在你的面前：圣母院。站在教堂前面的广场，你即处于法国的正中心。所有的距离皆是以圣母院前门开始计算。法国的每一条路都通往它的前门。圣母院是巴黎的中心，也是法国的中心。
