United Kingdom - London

London!!!
Talking about one of the most important financial capitals in the world is no easy task! Even more so when you have to summarize its charms in just one page or in a video! But I will try to tell you what I saw and felt when I was in this wonderful metropolis, which is currently home to a little bit of everything and everyone!!! That was really my first impression! Here, there is a little bit of each culture of everyone who inhabits our planet.

Wherever you go, you can hear a language, see people from different cultures, colors, races, customs, clothes, in short... a little bit of everything... and much more! A true globalization of London! But of course, still preserving its traditions, its princes and queens, its castles... and all the medieval beauty that contrasts with the present day. I like to start getting to know a place with a general, panoramic view, which is why the London Eyes was the first stop! This Ferris wheel, even more gigantic than the ones we usually see in amusement parks, allows us to see the wonder of London...from a height of 137 meters.

From up here, we can get an idea of ​​the other main tourist attractions in the capital of England and how many bridges with such different architecture cross the River Thames. From up here, we can see the grandeur of Big Ben, the historic ‘Tower Bridge’, the modern City Hall building, all mirrored, reflecting even more the beauty of the place, and contrasting with the old building of St. Paul's Cathedral, built in 1675. Walking through the streets of the city is the best way to get a better feel for the customs and culture of this country.

Also along the
Thames, we can enjoy museums, the London Aquarium, musicians showing their art and street artists doing mimes, dancing, art... lots of art!!! There are hundreds of theaters here. It was also here that Shakespeare lived most of his life and left us the beautiful Globe Theatre, in the Bankside region. The site, which was built in 1567, was destroyed in 1613 by a fire, was later rebuilt, remained closed for many years, but was rebuilt and reopened in grand style in 1997.

After enjoying the view from above and walking around, how about driving a car on the opposite side? It really is a great challenge. All cars in London have the steering wheel on the right side, so you need to be very careful. And there is another detail: here we don't talk about kilometers, but miles. The measurements, weights and sizes are also different. So, you might choose to take a “cab”, the famous black taxis that parade around the city... or even the well-known and no less charming red double-decker buses! Taking a city tour is also a must.

And taking the subway in London is something unforgettable!!! Oh!!! Don't forget that this is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, so it is worth researching the prices of transportation, hotels and attractions beforehand so you don't get a big surprise at the end. There are cheaper transportation options when you buy for a week or even combine the subway and bus. It is worth checking out!
