倫敦路上鋪滿黃金 十大最昂貴旅遊城市
If there's any truth in the old saw that London's streets are paved with gold, it's probably because they've been gilded by cash stripped from the pockets of tourists.
據美國有線電視新聞（CNN）報道，古諺語中說倫敦路上鋪滿黃金，如果這句話有點真實性的話，那就是遊客兜裏的錢鍍上的。It won't surprise anyone who's seen their budget evaporate seconds after exiting their over-priced hotel, but the English metropolis has been named the world's priciest city break destination.
從倫敦的價格過於昂貴的酒店一出來，你會發現自己的預算一溜煙就沒了。因而如果這個英國大都市被命名爲世界上最昂貴的城市旅行目的地，大家都不會感到驚訝。Review site TripAdvisor compared prices in 48 leading tourist destinations to conclude that London has overtaken Oslo as the world capital of the inadvertent splurge.
