London: A Breathtaking Wonderland

London is probably one of the most populated and visited cities in the world and I can see why. I like to describe it as the "New York City of Europe". Fashion is a priority in London. It is an ideal city to shop in. Also, the nightlife in London is amazing! Nothing like I had ever experienced before. And I'm not just talking about pubs or clubs but I'm also talking about great comedy clubs, music venues and rooftop lounges. The architecture, the history and modern life all existing together in one city is an indescribable scene you see when you first arrive to London.

London is great if you are traveling by yourself or with one other person, but it is also amazing if you want to take a family vacation there. That's what is great about London. While it can be young, wild and free for the night owls, it can also be culture-filled for those who are in search of just that. The culture in London overflows the streets. You find anything in the city's markets: vintage clothes, antiques, food, fashion from important designers. You name it, and London has it. 

For soccer fans like myself, seeing the Wembley Stadium in person is breathtaking. So many Cups that have been held there, victories, defeats, so many legendary players who have set foot on that fresh, green grass, and to just stand there and take it all in is an experience I won't forget and I'm sure you won't either.

These are just a few things about London. But, here are other things that I did while I was there that absolutely took my breath away:

Buckingham Palace - Even though, you can only take a tour inside during the summer, you can take pictures of the outside anytime of the year. I mean, why would you not want to go see it. It's where the Queen of England lives! (Who is also the Queen of Canada, Australia and New Zealand since 1952). 

Big Ben - When you think of London, you think of Big Ben, so why not go see it. If you want to get a really good view of it, I would recommend to go to the other side of the river near the London Eye.

London Eye - If you are afraid of heights, then you might just want to see it from the ground since it is almost 500ft tall. But it gives you an amazing view of the city that you wouldn't see anywhere else. 

Museums - I can't just recommend one. London is known for having some of the World's best museums and galleries, and the best part is that most of them are free!

London is ageless, meaning that you can be five and enjoy the city at the same time that you can be 90 and still have a blast. Visit London for an experience of a lifetime. 

Like New York City, London is just as expensive if not more. So, to read about money saving tips while in London, click here.
