London, where old and traditional walk hand in hand with all things new and modern, is definitely a city to come back to time and again as there is always something new and exciting to discover. Although it is a large city, it has an efficient public transport system that allows locals and visitors alike to get from one part of the city to another in no time.

To enjoy a panoramic view of the city, take a ride on the London Eye, one of the city’s newer landmarks, or go up to the viewing platform on the 69th floor of the Shard. And if you'd like to see many famous people in one place and take pictures with them, head to the popular Madame Tussauds wax museum, where you can meet the British royal family up close, and then visit their official residence, the Buckingham Palace, to see the famous changing of the guard.
