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.

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.
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!
