Other Attractions Around the World

London is the capital of Europe in everything but name. This majestic city, situated on the banks on the winding Thames is home to some of the best architecture, heritage and culture to be found in any city. It is rare to find a place where history seems to be so much in the present. Characters who you have read about and studied, leap of the page:

The Royal Families residence, Buckingham Palace and the 600 year old Tudor palace, Hampton Court on the outskirts of London are just two examples of literally hundreds of monuments that make London one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Check out the reviews on Travel Republic for reviews of things to do in London, and indeed the world.

London is not just a “daytime” city either. The West-End of London is the launch point for many of the world’s most popular musicals and theatre and of course Opera. The architecturally outstanding Royal Opera House at Covent Garden is one of the most famous Opera venues in the world...though good seats can be rather expensive.

You could spend a week in luxury at the Five Star Costa Adeje Gran Hotel in Tenerife watching Carmen on the DVD player for the price of a pair of good seats at “The Garden”! London is on the expensive side.
