"A Tramp Abroad — Volume 06" by Mark Twain is a travel narrative published in 1880. This sixth volume continues Twain's humorous journey through Europe with his companion Harris, as they traverse Switzerland, eastern France, and northern Italy.

Between travel accounts, Twain weaves unrelated tales, German legends, and satirical essays. The work combines autobiography with fiction, creating comedy through the travelers' bewildered reactions to continental life.
