Multiethnic, cosmopolitan, colorful London. What to visit in London in 3 days, a mini guide on the English capital to not miss anything and experience the city in a low cost way. What to eat, typical and cheap foods and above all where to sleep for an extraordinary and super low cost holiday.
When a man is tired of London he is tired of life, Samuel Johnson said, and we agree with him. Getting tired of London is practically impossible, whether it's the second time, the third or even the tenth in London there is always something to do, a place to try, a park where you have not yet been to soak up the midday sun in London. only sunny day of the month.
London is one trendy, cool and multi-ethnic capital, it is impossible to eat "well" here, there is little choice of fruit and vegetables, two things that we Italians like a lot, but for 48 hours you can make an exception and you can immerse yourself in the food culture of this great, very great city. A tour of 3 days for a low cost weekend in London is what it takes to see the city in all its aspects.
Where to eat in London?
To eat the typical menu of the English tradition I recommend you try the fish and chips, at least once, then you can indulge yourself with street food and other food. I therefore recommend the Red Lion, has few places so cross your fingers and is behind Big Ben, but also i gastropub, the historians where the British retire to have a beer or eat something while watching a game or simply to have an evening, I recommend two: Cittie of Yorke, Anchor Hope.
For the sweets you can not go to the world of M & M's in Piccadilly where there are 4 floors for lovers of chocolate candies with hazelnuts, a delight! Who wishes to take a tea at 5, as per classic English tradition, we recommend 5 of them, you can't resist. If, on the other hand, you want to go to "safe blow" the 5 o'clock tea at Harrods.
London is a huge city full of different people, that's why there are so many places where you can eat vegetarian only and places where you can in London also eat gluten-free!
Where to sleep in London?
A London Hotels I'm not like in Italy, anyone who has gone on holiday at least once in the English capital knows this and you always have to put it into account when you are going to book a room. The general advice is to spend a little more here so as not to find yourself sleeping in a tavern. If you like hostels we will give you the name of them here 3 of the best hostels in London. If you prefer hotels, here is a 4-star hotel with a slightly high price, but in a beautiful area and with an excellent breakfast: The Royal Park. For a mid-priced Ibis, clean and new but without character like the previous one, I recommend Ibis London in the City from London. Finally, those who want to spend little little little and are not too interested in the structure can easily choose one of the 7 EasyHotel London for £ 25! If you are lucky then you can find one London hotels £ 1!
What to see in London?
Deciding what to see in London in just under 3 days, in 48 hours is not easy at all. Having to choose, I choose the most important things, perhaps starting or ending with a nice bus tour. You shouldn't miss a visit to Buckingham Palace and if you can also look at the changing of the guard, at least once in a lifetime! Go for a ride on the beautiful London Eye and if you want to overdo it, choose the champagne tour, if you are a couple your half will appreciate it.
If you love museums, find out which ones are museums with free admission.
London markets
Among the London markets do not miss the more London markets or the markets where to buy low cost like P, Brick Lane Market or Camden Town Market.
How to get around London?
Granted that the best way to visit in London is turn it far and wide on foot, London does not have an optimal climate and in order not to risk getting wet to reach a destination, I recommend that you leave with an umbrella, but also good information!
Not easy to get around London and well. After several trips to the English capital I realized that the easiest and most convenient way is to take the Oyster Card, with this you can make as many trips as you want by recharging it from time to time, very easy and allows you to use both subway and bus, better than that I have not found anything. There Travelcard as an alternative, in addition to transport, it will give you free admissions to about 60 tourist attractions, but do your math well, maybe 3 days in London will not be enough to see everything! Finally, take a look at the website of the London bus, a ride on the double decker always has its charm!
