London is one of the world's greatest capital cities. Whether you are
taking your vacations in London, looking for short breaks in London
or city breaks in London, you will find plenty to see and do.
Europe’s largest city, London has over 7
million inhabitants, and is roughly 50 miles (80 km) across. Most of
the main attractions are conentrated together and transport by bus
and tube is easy with the river Thames running through its heart and
helping to make sense of the city's layout.
London isn’t just another old European
city but one that has managed to rebuild and reinvent itself time
and time. London offers an enormous choice. The traditional tourist
attractions – Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral,
Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and the British Museum –
together with all the pageantry, are of course one big attraction.
But new exciting developments since the new millennium have given a
new buzz to the city.
The South Bank of the river has been regenerated by
The British Airways London Eye, the world’s largest ferris wheel,
and the Tate Modern art gallery.
Try starting a day at the free National Gallery in
Trafalgar Square or at Buckingham Palace for the changing of the
guard which is daily or every other day at 11:30 am. Wander through
St. James’s Park on your way to Westminster Abbey, the Houses of
Parliament, and Big Ben. And don't forget an evening stroll along
Waterloo Bridge for spectacular and romantic views of the city.
Don't miss Madame Tussaud's and the
London Dungeon.
