8London, United Kingdom

London provides an easy introduction to Europe for travellers who prefer an English-speaking environment. The city is enormous, but its extensive public transport network makes getting around relatively straightforward.

First-time visitors can explore Westminster, see Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, walk beside the Thames and visit world-famous museums. The British Museum, National Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum are particularly valuable for visitors interested in history and art.

London also introduces travellers to Europe’s multicultural side. Its neighbourhoods offer food and traditions connected to communities from around the world.
