por Explanation: Prepositions are fun, aren't they? "To travel around a city" can mean two things. It can mean to travel inside of it to various points, for example as a tourist on a bus. It can also mean to take the beltway and literally circle the city. "To travel through a city" means you didn't get out of your car and maybe went down the main road. "To travel across" often connotes something bigger, such as a continent or a country. There are some other possibilities here but I hope I have helped. See ya. Spani |

a couch tour of Explanation: Further to the explanation above, I would like to add the tour possibilities, since I understand that's your sentence to be translated. The Oxford Dict. gives the following options: You can also use jouney (for pleasure)during which/ a couch tour of several cities during which various places of interest are visited. Ex: a couch tour of France Also possible: around France If it's shorter, you can say: brief visit to or through a place go on a tour/make/do a tour of the museum, etc. If there's a guide, you could add: a conducted/guided tour To complete the travel question, I would add: (this is the Longman Dictionary of phrasal verbs) you can travel or visit a place ex: He's travelling India - travel in : to make a journey or journeys through (a large place) --> Europe - travel over: to cross a large area when making a journey or journeys --> to travel the world over to find something OR - travel over: to pass over a large area when making a journey ---> He travelled over land and water before he found it It also refreshed my memory. I hope it helped! Oxford Dict. + Longman Phrasal Verbs |

I would say in this case "to travel through" Explanation: On a bus tour you are not exactly free to "travel around", as you might with a car. Neither will you travel across the space without looking (atravesar). You can also say "to tour several cities". |
