Four days more would enable the traveller to include Baden and Strasburg. This route here laid down would give a traveller the opportunity of seeing several most interesting cities and much fine scenery-though of course they could not be explored thoroughly in such a flying visit. A great many of our countrymen, having no fixed plan to travel by, seem only to calculate how far from home they can go in a limited time, and are contented with what they can see from the deck of the steamer and the window of the diligence. They would be much more gratified were they to portion out their time somewhat in the manner indicated above, 0.-LONDON TO NAPLES. To Paris by Folkestone and way Hours on the way. 11 10 8 13 3 32 18 22 26 by steam; inclusive of delays at the ports. This journey is practicable in 7 days. Milan (daily diligence) 21 Care should be taken by the traveller, on arriving in Paris, to secure at once his own passport in exchange for his passe provisoire. By chain of Steamboats. Pest Orsova Galatz 1 day 1st Constantinople 2 Smyrna, by steam every week. See Handbook for S. Germ., Rt. 282-284. The most agreeable way of reaching Constantinople or Athens, at present, is by the Austrian Lloyd Steamers from Trieste. Steamers leave Trieste - for Constantinople, by way of Corfu, Syra, Smyrna, &c., every Thursday - for Athens, by Ancona, Brindisi, Corfu, Patras, Lutraki, and by carriages across the Isthmus to Calimaki. * When the railways over the Semmering, and the line from Laibach, are completed, Trieste may be reached in 94 hours; and, if the Austrians should accelerate the speed of their trains, Hours. Paris to Berlin. 44 Berlin to Vienna 31 in 84. Those among the above routes which belong to Southern Germany are described in the second Volume of the Handbook. The Swiss routes will be found in the HANDBOOK FOR SWITZERLAND. |
