British tourist guide tourist attractions in London, England

Among the four regions, London, the capital of England, and Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, are the most worth exploring, and museums, art galleries and castles, large and small, are worth taking time to savor.

London classic route

The administrative divisions in Britain are very complicated. The capital London we are talking about is not a city, but the concept of a large area, including Greater London and the City of London. The City of London is only 2.9 square kilometers, which is the financial center and the old city of London. Among the 32 local administrative districts under the jurisdiction of Greater London, the inner district of 12 and the City of London are collectively called inner london.

Most of London's attractions, such as St James's Palace, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Palace, Big Ben and Hyde Park, are in the center of London, which usually takes 3-4 days. The main attractions can be reached by subway or on foot.

Optimal travel time

Britain's overall geographical position is far north, which belongs to a typical maritime climate, with relatively small temperature difference between the four seasons and more rain. Generally speaking, sunny summer (June-September) is the best time to travel in a year, and various music festivals and art festivals come one after another, which is also a public holiday. Popular tourist cities are relatively crowded and house prices are rising. The climate in spring and autumn is changeable and humid, but few people travel, which is suitable for off-peak travel. Winter (165438+1October-February) is cold and the sunshine time is short, which is the off-season of tourism in a year. Many scenic spots will be closed or closed in advance, and local tour groups in Scottish Highlands, Lake District and other scenic spots will also stop. Around Christmas, the festive atmosphere in London, Edinburgh and other cities is strong, and the biggest discount in a year begins after the holiday. If you are interested in shopping, it is not bad to travel in winter.
