4 Must Sees in London

November 13, 2007 3 comments

Moving beyond the main tourist attractions is a must for many travelers, but when coming to a new city I sometimes prefer to visit the most popular sights at once.

For first time visitors to London I recommend:

Royal Albert Hall

To admire the building or enjoy a classical concert.

Buckingham Palace

For good photo opportunities, come early morning before the crowds arrive.

St Paul’s Cathedral

I visited twice – at night and in the afternoon. I enjoyed the cathedral much more in the darkness when no people were around. Nothing wrong with the guided day tours, but do consider a visit at a quiet time to see St Paul’s Cathedral in a different light.

Royal Academy of Arts

I first visited Royal Academy of Arts in mid September to see Impressionists by the Sea, an exhibition that explores the development of the trendy beach scene from the early 1960′s to the early 1870′s through work by Monet, Manet and Eugéne Boudin. The exhibitions change a few times a year. Currently, they show work from the well-known German artist Georg Baselitz.
