London - City Trip to the Capital of Great Britain

London is, without doubt, a first-class world city. Due to this reason, the metropolis is respectively popular among tourists and visitors coming from all nations.

The convenient possibilities available today for a short visit by train or plane make the city double as attractive for German tourists. An extended weekend is already sufficient for an adventuresome tour to London. Of course, it is an advantage to have more time, but in order to know all the sightseeings, museums and cultural events, also a few weeks are not sufficient, specially considering the long queues to get to the most attractive tourist attractions.

Thus, if possible, make a few trips to London, it is worthwhile in any case. We also made several short trips where anytime we discovwered new things and still did not see many things of London. We surely want to come back, as this city is an event, any time new but still becoming more familiar.
