English for Travel
Travelling is one of the best ways to practise English. This guide covers the most useful phrases for hotels, restaurants, transport and getting help when you need it.
At the Hotel
When you arrive at a hotel, you check in at the front desk. The receptionist will help you find your room.
Hello, I have a reservation. My name is...
What time is check-out?
Is breakfast included?
Could I have an extra towel, please?
Where is the lift?
In a Restaurant
Eating out is a great way to experience a new place. You need a few phrases to order food and ask questions.
A table for two, please.
Could I see the menu, please?
I would like the chicken, please.
Could I have the bill, please?
Using Transport
Buses, trains and taxis are common when travelling. Here are simple phrases to help you get around.
A single ticket to Manchester, please.
Which platform for the London train?
Does this bus go to the city centre?
Could you take me to this address, please?
Asking for Help
If you have a problem or feel lost, do not be afraid to ask. People are usually happy to help tourists.
Excuse me, could you help me?
I am lost. Where is the nearest station?
Do you speak Arabic?
Could you write that down for me?
