So I've learned a lot from trial and error, what to do and what not to do in this amazing capital city.

所以經過不斷嘗試和錯誤，我學到了很多，在這個令人驚豔的首都，什麼該做、什麼不該做。

So in this video, I'm going to be sharing all my best tips and tricks for first timers to make sure you have an amazing time.

所以這支影片，我會分享給第一次去的朋友們所有最棒的技巧和祕訣，確保你們有個愉快的時光。

So we're going to start with some London travel planning tips.

所以我們要從一些倫敦的旅行規劃技巧開始。

First things first, in terms of when to visit London, honestly I every season has something really cool to offer.

首先，關於什麼時候去倫敦，老實說，每個季節都有很棒的特色。

The only thing I would say is to avoid peak, peak season being July and August, just because this is when everyone and their mom is going to be visiting London, so it's going to be really busy.

我唯一會說的是，要避開旺季，旺季就是七月和八月，因為這時候幾乎所有人都會去倫敦玩，所以會非常擁擠。

And also when it gets hot in London, it's not the most pleasant experience just because the tube system is not built for heat, so it gets very sticky, very humid, very disgusting.

而且倫敦熱起來的時候，體驗也不是最舒服的，因為地鐵系統不是為高溫設計的，所以會非常黏膩、潮濕，讓人很不舒服。

So I would really not advise visiting London during the thick of the summer.

所以我真的不建議在盛夏的時候去倫敦。

In terms of how long to stay in London, I would say four days is an absolute minimum, just because anything less than that, you're going to feel stressed trying to capture all the sites and you're really not going to feel like you've seen a lot.

至於要在倫敦待多久，我會說四天是最低要求，因為少於這個時間，你會覺得壓力很大，想把所有景點都看完，而且你真的不會覺得你看了很多東西。

But minimum 4 days more if you want to do some of the day trips around the city.

不過，如果你想安排一些一日遊，至少要多待四天。

接下來，我們來聊聊怎麼抵達倫敦。

So the Greater London area is actually served by six different airports.

所以，大倫敦地區其實有六個不同的機場服務。

So there's Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City Airport and London Southend Airport.

有希斯洛機場、蓋威克機場、史坦斯特機場、盧頓機場、倫敦城市機場和倫敦紹森德機場。

Now, for visitors coming from overseas, odds are you're going to be entering through Gatwick or Heathrow, whereas the other ones are more meant for shorter flights, usually coming from elsewhere in Europe.

對於從海外來的旅客來說，你們很有可能會從蓋威克機場或希斯洛機場入境，而其他機場則比較適合較短程的飛行，通常是來自歐洲其他地方的班機。

Now, if you're coming from Heathrow, I would definitely advise against doing the Heathrow Express just because I know it's quick but it's very, very expensive.

如果你是從希斯洛機場來，我強烈建議不要搭乘希斯洛機場快線，因為我知道它很快，但非常非常貴。

And also, unless you're staying at a hotel really close to Paddington Station, you're going to end up having to take public trans export further and transfer to your next stop anyway, so the Tube is definitely a much more cost effective solution.

而且，除非你住的飯店離派丁頓車站非常近，不然你最後還是得搭乘大眾運輸工具轉乘到下一個目的地，所以搭地鐵絕對是更划算的選擇。

Luckily, Heathrow is on the Tube line, so you can just hop on with a contactless card and it'll calculate your fare for you.

幸好，希斯洛機場有地鐵線，你只要用感應式卡片就能直接上車，它會自動計算你的車資。

So it's quite a simple way to do it in terms of hotels, there are thousands of potential hotels and rooms that you can choose from.

所以這是一個相當簡單的交通方式，至於飯店方面，有成千上萬的潛在飯店和房間可以讓你選擇。

But generally speaking, I think the most important thing in London when you're choosing a hotel is comfort.

但總的來說，我認為在倫敦選擇飯店最重要的就是舒適度。

Whereas I'm more inclined to pick based on location for other cities.

不過我對其他城市就比較傾向看地點來選。

London is such a spread out and huge city that just booking an accommodation that's close to one attraction doesn't necessarily put you at an advantage when you're going to sightsee in other places.

倫敦是個非常廣闊又龐大的城市，光是訂一間靠近某個景點的住宿，不見得能讓你參觀其他地方時佔到便宜。

So really, picking a hotel that's comfortable in a nice neighborhood with good food options to me is more important than staying like next to the London Eye or close to Big Ben.

所以對我來說，選擇一間舒適、位於不錯的區域、餐飲選擇又多的飯店，比住在倫敦眼或大笨鐘旁邊還重要。

So long as you pick a hotel that's close to a tube station, honestly you'll be fine for getting around.

只要你選的飯店離地鐵站近，說真的，要到處跑都很方便。

I would prioritize places that are in zone one and zone two just because that's honestly cheaper when you do public transport that way.

我會優先考慮位在一區和二區的住宿，因為這樣搭乘大眾運輸會比較划算。

And also staying in one of those zones will put you kind of within a stone's throw of most attractions in London.

而且住在這些區域，大部分景點也都在你的「彈指可及」的範圍內。

That said, I would personally prioritize things like the specifics of the hotel and whether or not they suit your needs in terms of comfort.

話雖如此，我個人還是會優先考慮飯店本身的細節，以及是否符合你在舒適度方面的需求。

Now it's important to note that a lot of hotels in London are actually repurposed from older buildings.

現在要特別注意的是，倫敦很多飯店其實是從舊建築改建的。

Sometimes they will have no elevator or lack of amenities that you might be used to like air conditioning.

有時候可能沒有電梯，或是缺乏你習慣的設施，像是冷氣。

So when you're vetting hotels, be sure to look beyond just a few photos.

所以你在挑選飯店時，務必別只看幾張照片就做決定。

Be sure to read the descriptions quite clearly, look at some reviews, because a lot of older hotels in London will not have some amenities that you would come to expect from a hotel.

挑選飯店時，務必仔細閱讀說明，看看評價，因為倫敦很多老飯店可能沒有你習慣的設施。

Now another important tip is to make sure you get an international SIM card or at least an international data plan, just because oftentimes you'll be relying on Internet a lot when you're in London.

另外一個重要的技巧是，一定要辦一張國際 SIM 卡，或是至少一個國際數據方案，因為你在倫敦時，常常會需要用到網路。

A lot of restaurants even have their menus just on QR codes these days.

現在很多餐廳的菜單都只提供 QR code 了。

But the good news is it's very cheap to get a SIM card when you're in London.

不過好消息是，在倫敦辦 SIM 卡其實很便宜。

Actually at the airports they have machines, look for vending machines from three, they sell SIM cards and you can set it up really easily and it's very affordable as well.

其實在機場就有機器，找找看那幾臺販賣機，它們有賣 SIM 卡，而且設定起來很方便，價格也很實惠。

Lastly, before you head to London, make sure you have a travel friendly credit card.

最後，在你出發去倫敦之前，記得帶一張旅行方便的信用卡。

And the reason I say this is because London these days is becoming very much a cashless city.

我這麼說的原因是，現在的倫敦越來越像一個無現金城市了。

You're going to be using cards to pay for a lot of things.

你會需要用卡來支付很多東西。

So if you have a credit card that charges you every time you Use it abroad, then that's not really going to work out in your favorite.

所以如果你有張每次在國外使用都會被收費的信用卡，那這樣就不太划算了。

And I highly recommend getting a wise card.

You can hold a bunch of different currencies in one account and it also minimizes any potential fees when you're using it abroad.

你可以在一個帳戶裡存入好幾種不同的貨幣，而且在國外使用時，也能盡量減少潛在的手續費。

So I highly recommend using that because you are going to be using card a lot when you're in London.

所以我強烈建議使用它，因為你在倫敦的時候會非常頻繁地用到卡。

Now, in terms of getting around London, here are some must knows.

接下來，關於在倫敦的交通，這裡有一些必知的資訊。

First things first, you definitely wouldn't need to rent a car.

Unless you're planning on driving out to the countryside or doing some more remote trips within the city, you're not going to need a car and you definitely shouldn't be wasting your money that way because it can be very stressful driving in London and most people won't be used to it.

除非你打算開車去郊區或是在市內進行一些比較偏遠的一日遊，否則你並不需要車，而且絕對不應該把錢浪費在這上面，因為在倫敦開車壓力很大，而且大多數人都不習慣。

Second, when taking taxis, I definitely recommend downloading an app called FreeNow.

第二，搭乘計程車時，我強烈建議下載一個叫做 FreeNow 的 App。

It's basically like Uber except they work with licensed taxis.

它基本上就像 Uber 一樣，但他們是跟領有執照的計程車合作。

So you can easily order a taxi through an app and then they'll come to you.

所以你可以透過 App 輕鬆叫計程車，然後他們就會來接你。

And so this is way easier than trying to flag a taxi down.

這樣比路邊攔計程車方便多了。

It's also really good because you can see the estimated fare.

而且它很棒的地方是可以看到預估的車資。

So that way you know when you're getting scammed or when you're not getting scammed.

Third, I definitely wouldn't rely on these hop on, hop off buses as a mode of transport, to be honest with you.

第三，說實話，我絕對不建議你把這種隨上隨下巴士當作主要的交通工具。

I have taken one in the past and I thought it was really fun as a sightseeing tour.

我以前搭過一次，覺得作為觀光行程很有趣。

But as a mode of transport it's really not that reliable because the schedules aren't as consistent and it's really, really not the most efficient way to get around.

但作為交通工具，它真的不太可靠，因為班次不固定，而且真的不是最有效率的移動方式。

Now way better than the hop on, hop off buses is just relying on public transport as millions of Londoners do every single day.

現在，比隨上隨下巴士好太多的是，就像倫敦數百萬市民每天一樣，直接依賴大眾運輸。

Now the public transport system in London relies on a tap in, tap out system that automatically charges you as a visitor.

倫敦的大眾運輸系統採用「感應進出」的收費方式，會自動為你計費。

You can either just use a contactless card, anything with this symbol and that will automatically charge you, or you can get an Oyster card.

你可以直接使用感應式信用卡，任何有這個標誌的卡都可以自動扣款，或者你可以辦一張 Oyster 卡。

The easiest thing is probably just to use your contactless card.

最簡單的方式大概就是直接用你的感應式信用卡。

There's actually no difference between the fares that they charge you with.

它們收取的費用其實沒有差別。

There's only a few situations where as a tourist I think it makes sense.

我覺得只有少數幾種情況，身為觀光客會比較適合。

The first one is if you plan on getting a rail card.

第一種情況是，如果你打算辦一張鐵路卡。

So if you get a rail card, you can actually register it with your Oyster card and that's going to save you one third off all your train journeys, including your tube journey.

所以如果你辦了鐵路卡，你可以把它註冊到你的 Oyster 卡上，這樣可以省下你所有火車行程的三分之一費用，包含你的地鐵行程。

But of course, this only really works if you're staying in London for a longer period of time or if you plan on coming back really frequently.

但當然，這真的只適用於你待在倫敦比較長一段時間，或是你打算非常頻繁地回來。

The other situation is if you have a credit card, but

另一種情況是，如果你有信用卡，但是

it's not a travel friendly one, in which case you're going to be charged every single time you do any transactions abroad.

那種信用卡就不是那麼適合旅遊，因為你在國外做任何交易都會被收費。

In that case, then it might be worthwhile getting an Oyster card.

那樣的話，辦一張 Oyster 卡或許就比較划算。

But besides that, contactless is the way to go.

不過除此之外，感應式支付是最佳選擇。

Now, in terms of public transport in London, you have a few options.

接著，在倫敦的公共交通方面，你有幾個選擇。

You have the Underground trains, also known as the Tube.

You also have buses and overground trains which connect you out to more suburb areas.

你也有巴士和地面列車，可以連接到比較郊區的地方。

Now, as a tourist, you're mostly going to be relying on the underground and on buses.

身為遊客，你主要會依賴地鐵和巴士。

But for me personally, I would recommend tourists more prioritize the bus actually, just because it's cheaper, because it's charged just one zone across the board.

但對我個人來說，我會建議遊客更優先考慮巴士，因為它比較便宜，而且無論在哪個區域都是單一費率。

It's also really fun to ride in a double decker bus like Up Top and you get to see a lot more.

搭乘雙層巴士的「上層」也超好玩，而且可以看到更多風景。

You also get cell service, so it's easier to navigate.

你還可以收到手機訊號，導航也會比較方便。

That said, there are some downsides with the bus.

話雖如此，巴士還是有些缺點。

Of course, you're at the mercy of London traffic, which can be really brutal.

當然，你可能會塞在倫敦的交通裡，這真的會讓人很抓狂。

Also, the buses are often not as punctual.

So if you're using Google Maps to navigate, never trust the estimate that they give you on there just because it doesn't factor in traffic.

所以，如果你用 Google Maps 導航，千萬別相信它給你的預估時間，因為它沒有把塞車考慮進去。

Instead, look for the electronic stop times that are usually at the stop.

取而代之的是，看看站牌上通常會有的電子到站時間。

Those will tend to be a lot more accurate.

Regardless of what option you choose, just always make sure you have a good buffer time if you have to go anywhere specific.

無論你選擇哪種方式，只要有要去特定地點的行程，就一定要預留充裕的緩衝時間。

So if you have a show you need to catch or a certain train you need to catch, give yourself a lot of buffer time in advance just in case the public transport system fails you because there's often delays in busier tourist areas.

所以，如果你有要趕的表演或特定的火車班次，請務必事先預留很多緩衝時間，以免大眾運輸系統讓你失望，因為在比較熱鬧的觀光區，常常會有誤點的情況。

To be honest with you, I would prioritize walking above all else because often this can be faster than taking the bus or the Tube and it's just a more scenic way to get around.

老實說，我會把走路擺在第一順位，因為這樣通常比搭公車或地鐵快，而且沿途風景也比較美。

Now let's run through a few basic tips for riding the Tube.

現在我們來快速瀏覽一下搭乘地鐵的一些基本技巧。

I would never willingly go on the Tube during rush hour as a tourist, just because you have that flexibility.

身為觀光客，我絕對不會故意在地鐵尖峰時段搭車，因為你比較有彈性。

Not only are the fares more expensive during that time, but

it gets incredibly busy and it's just not a fun time to be around.

而且人潮會非常擁擠，那時候待在那裡一點都不好玩。

So definitely avoid the tube around 7:30 to 9:00am and also 5 to 7:00pm Another thing is to always keep your ticket or your card handy, because whenever you're riding the Tube, you have to tap out at the fare gates every time.

所以絕對要避開早上 7:30 到 9:00，還有下午 5:00 到 7:00 的時段。還有另一件事，就是隨時把你的票或卡片準備好，因為搭地鐵的時候，你每次進出閘門都要刷卡。

So the last thing that you want to do is hold up everyone behind you because you can't find your card.

所以你最不想做的事，就是因為找不到卡片而讓後面的人全部塞住。
