Why a city break in London?
London is reachable direct from Bolzano in two hours and offers world-class free museums — the British Museum and the National Gallery among them.
London is the largest city in Western Europe and can't be fully grasped in a weekend. The city consists of neighbourhoods with very distinct characters — Westminster with its government buildings, the City as the financial centre, Camden and Shoreditch for markets and design, South Kensington for museums, Notting Hill and Chelsea for residential streets and cafés. The Underground, London's Tube, ties them all together and is the fastest way to get around.
One practical advantage: the great state museums charge no admission. The British Museum, the National Gallery, the Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum are all free — only special exhibitions cost. That makes London an unusually cost-friendly destination for culture, even though the city is otherwise expensive: a day at the museum costs nothing beyond a coffee.
The classic sights lie close together: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace in the west; the Tower and Tower Bridge in the east; and between them the South Bank along the Thames. First-time visitors should stick to that central axis and add two or three neighbourhoods — Covent Garden, Soho or Notting Hill — for evenings out. Repeat visitors venture further to Greenwich, Kew Gardens or Richmond.
What is there to do in London?
London is too big for a list. On a first visit, the axis Westminster – South Bank – Tower, plus one major museum and one market, is enough. The Underground is the key: dense, reliable and payable directly with a contactless card.

When is the best time to visit London?
London has a mild, damp climate — rain is possible in every season, extreme heat or cold rare. From May to September the days are long, the parks are lively and the outdoor dining is open. July and August bring the crowds, especially around the West End theatres and the classic sights. Autumn brings mild days, colour in the parks and fewer visitors. In November the Christmas lights on Regent Street and Oxford Street are switched on; in December, Winter Wonderland runs in Hyde Park. January and February are grey but cheaper, and museums are still open.
Frequently asked questions
The Gatwick Express runs from the airport station straight to Victoria Station in the centre, taking around 30 minutes.
Alongside it, cheaper regional trains take a little longer and call at additional stations such as London Bridge. Tickets can be bought at the machine or online. Alternatively, add a transfer to your booking. In the city itself, you use the Underground, buses or, for shorter distances, walking; a car is unnecessary and expensive due to the Congestion Charge.
