世界著名的25大旅游胜地二(3)

　　Named by Christopher Columbus after he stumbled upon the island while exploring the New World, Antigua was ruled by the British until 1981, when it became an independent nation. Still, it maintains many English traditions, including the pub room at the Admiral's Inn. Along with coves buffeted by coral reefs, the island boasts pastel houses with wide verandas, bays with calm waters for children and the Saturday Morning Market, where visitors can buy all manner of tropical fruits.

　　St. Petersburg, Russia

　　Once the seat of Peter the Great, St. Petersburg contains many relics of more decadent times. From czarist cathedrals to the Winter Palace to the Hermitage, one of the most important museums in the world, there's plenty to do in the city for a cultured traveler. Catch a famous Russian ballet at the Mariinsky Theater, or stroll down the Nevsky Prospekt to feel like a 19th century aristocrat. In the winter, the city becomes a crystalline ice dreamscape -- but bundle up; it can be cold.

　　Bergen, Norway

　　The gateway to Norway's many fjords, which are water channels through cliffs carved by glaciers, Bergen is a classic Nordic fishing village. Whether you're walking down streets full of colorful houses, holding your nose at the fish market, or trekking out into the gorgeous mountains that surround the city, you're sure to become just as bewitched by the place as the Vikings were when they first encountered it 2,000 years ago.

　　Messina, Italy

　　Founded by the Greeks in the 8th century B.C., the city has since been inhabited by many cultures including the Romans and the Arabs, making for a rich cultural fabric. Chock full of Renaissance cathedrals, museums featuring works by masters like Caravaggio and ancient ruins, Messina is also the gateway to Mount Etna. It is an active volcano -- watch out! -- where many brave souls visit the top to get a glimpse of the churning, red hot lava and the panoramic views of the Sicilian islands below.

　　安提瓜

　　克里斯托弗-哥伦布在探索新世界时偶然发现了一个岛屿，给它命名为安提瓜。安提瓜在1981年前一直由英国统治，直到1981年才成为独立的国家。但是，它仍然保留着很多英国的传统，如海军上将旅馆内设有酒吧。除了有珊瑚礁外，岛上还有光线柔和带有超宽阳台的房子，有一些海水比较平静的海湾适合孩子游玩。岛上周六早晨有早市，游客们可以在那里买各种各样的热带水果。

　　俄罗斯的圣彼得堡

　　圣彼得堡曾经是彼得大帝的地盘，现在还有很多衰微时代的遗物。从沙皇大教堂到冬宫，再到世界上最重要的博物馆之一冬宫博物馆，这所城市对于爱好文化的旅客来说有很多东西可以去体验。可以在马林斯基剧院观看著名的俄罗斯芭蕾舞，或沿着涅夫斯基大街散步去寻找19世纪贵族的感觉。到了冬季，这座城市变成了冰晶般的梦境——但是要穿得暖和一些，那里很冷的。

　　挪威的卑尔根

　　卑尔根是通往挪威很多峡湾的门户，峡湾是由冰川磨蚀山壁形成的水的通道。此外卑尔根还是一个经典的北欧渔村。无论你是在满是五颜六色房屋的街上行走，还是在鱼市上捂住鼻子，或徒步走到环绕城市的绚烂山脉，你都一定会像2000年前发现这儿的维京人那样对这里着迷的。

　　意大利的墨西拿

　　墨西拿是希腊人在公元前8世纪建立的，从那时起，这座城市就有着罗马文化、阿拉伯文化等丰富的文化结构。 不仅如此，这里还有大量文艺复兴时期的大教堂、有珍藏像卡拉瓦乔这样大师级作品的博物馆，还有古遗址博物馆。此外，它还是埃特纳火山的门户。埃特纳火山是一座活火山(要小心哦)，那里还有很多勇敢的人爬到顶峰去看火山的翻腾和炽热的熔岩，下面西西里岛屿的全景一览无余。
