How long does it take?

If you’re going to visit all the European Route of Industrial Heritage, you will spend a lot of time, because the route involves over 2000 locations. However, if you don’t have enough time, you could choose a tour.

04

Advantages

In the voyage, the route will present to you the impressive and attractive industrial history of Europe. It won’t be beautiful, enchanting or delightful like other sites, but I think it will be really interesting and distinctive.

Problems

However, the travel could be dull for someone who isn’t interested in history and factories. The old industrial plants aren’t breathtaking like a landscape or a building. Because of that, these people shouldn’t visit this route.

05

We can also find traces of the Industrial Revolution in America

Where can we find out more?

06

Why did I choose it?

I choose this route for a simple reason: I’m interested in this. The progress of the industries changed the society of that time. This theme is so exciting that I can’t choose anything else.

A perfect conclusion

Thanks for your attention

You can visit the route in every season, but if I were you, I’d see it in spring or in autumn, because the weather isn’t too cold or too hot.
