【轻松英文阅读】伦敦旅行指南

 London is certainly one of the most iconic cities in the world. Its monuments, parks and sights have appeared within so many books, movies and songs. Its citizens are famously colorful and diverse, and its culture is extensive and unique.

For the above reasons (and more), millions of tourists visit this beautiful English city every year. This is a big metropolis¹, so a couple of days are certainly not going to be enough for you to get a full picture of this city, but even this short time frame is going to be enough for you to enjoy some great sights.

 

Hyde Park Corner

If you enjoy shopping, take a stroll down Oxford² Street and enjoy the many fashion stores. If you want to see the green areas the city has to offer, a visit to Hyde Park is a beautiful “must do”. Art and history fans will enjoy a visit to the Tate Modern Museum and The British Museum, which are also free!

 

Finally, why not end your day with a nice pint³ of beer at a local pub? In perfect British style, there are many pubs serving great ales and amazing food, including an English favorite, fish and chips!
