SMART Reiseführer London

A summer day in London. You sit in the Orangery of Kensington Palace, enjoying a light meal and the wonderful view of the park greenery, looking forward to an extensive shopping spree in the afternoon. Or are you more in the mood for culture? Then it's best to start at the British Museum and follow our suggestion for a tour through Soho and Covent Garden. Perhaps you would prefer to experience the city from a completely different perspective? How about a boat tour on the Thames? Alongside all the classic sights, we have ideas for truly special vacation days ready for you. All the important landmarks of London are presented in five chapters. Within each chapter, the sights are divided into three categories: “TOP 10,” “Don’t Miss!” and “At Your Leisure!” This way, you immediately know what you absolutely should see. And after the sightseeing? How about a “little break”? For example, after visiting St. Paul's Cathedral and the strenuous climb to the galleries in the mighty dome. Good addresses for restaurants and bars, tips for events and nightlife, as well as attractive shopping options round off each of the five chapters. Additionally, we have compiled ideas for exciting excursions and walks. Suggestions for places to stay and how to navigate the area can be found in the “Practical Information” section. With the atlas section in the volume and a large separate city map, you can quickly and easily orient yourself in London.
