Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. In the old days people had to travel several days, weeks and months to get to the place they needed. Then trains, trams, cars, buses, airplanes, undergrounds and other means appeared.

Many people prefer travelling by air. It is the fastest way of travelling. A lot of people like to travel by train because they can look at passing towns, villages, forests and fields through the windows. Some people like to travel by car. They can go as slowly or as fast as they like. They can stop where and when they want.

Most travellers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them: the sights of a city, old churches and castles, mountains, lakes, valleys, waterfalls, flowers, trees, animals, birds.

All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. People choose one according to their tastes, plans and destinations.
