Short vacation
You have three whole days to spend in London! This is enough to see the most important sights of the British capital, and if you want to, you can even spend a day out of town.
What do you do on the first and second days? You can find options for getting started in London
If you have already strolled around Westminster, seen the royal treasures (and the ravens, and Beefeaters!) in the Tower of London, visited Westminster Abbey and the British Museum, it’s time to think about themed trips.
- “Knights and students” – a trip to Warwick castle and Oxford.
- “Journey of 5000 years” – an excursion to Stonehenge and Salisbury.
- “Roads of the Kings” – a day out to Windsor Castle and the ancient capital of England, Winchester. Because of castle opening times, the Windsor visit is only available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
We could, instead, stay in or near central London. Itineraries in PDF format, in Russian, are available
- “Britannia rules the waves!” – to Greenwich by boat, returning through the futuristic redevelopment area of Canary Wharf – the former dock area – and continuing with a walk around the City.
- “Architecture, fashion and design” – a visit to London’s cathedral, St Paul’s, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Available every day except Sunday.
- “The Knights Templar: For whom the bell tolls” – a walk around the City of London and a tour of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Available every day except Sunday.
- “Gardens, landscapes, portraits” – an excursion to Hampton Court Palace, followed by a tour of the National Gallery. Available Wednesday to Sunday.
- “England and France – neighbors and rivals” – an excursion to Hampton Court Palace, followed by a tour of the Wallace collection. Available Wednesday to Sunday.
