Londres highlights
The places and experiences not to miss under any circumstances.
Tower of London
A thousand-year-old fortress on the Thames, the Tower of London has been palace, prison and place of execution. Here you admire the Crown Jewels and listen to the Beefeaters' tales. A skip-the-line ticket is advisable, especially at weekends.
British Museum
Free and colossal, the British Museum brings together the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon friezes and treasures from around the world. You can't see it all: target a few rooms or take a themed guided tour.
London Eye
The iconic South Bank wheel, the London Eye offers a 360° panorama over Big Ben, the Thames and the City skyscrapers in half an hour. Book a sunset slot for the finest light.
Westminster & Big Ben
Around the Palace of Westminster and its Big Ben clock, the Abbey has crowned England's kings for a thousand years. The district concentrates British power in a spectacular Gothic setting, magnificent at night.
West End musical
The West End is London's Broadway: The Lion King, Les Misérables, Hamilton and dozens of shows on each night. Book your seats ahead for the most popular productions and the best prices.
Windsor Castle
Less than an hour from London, Windsor Castle is the oldest inhabited royal residence in the world. A day trip, sometimes combined with Stonehenge and Bath, is the perfect complement to a stay in the capital.
