Located in the English capital, Buckingham Palace is a London icon. However, it's worth noting that it's not just a royal residence. Since 1837, it has been the official seat of the British monarchy and one of the world's most famous and visited landmarks. Admire its monumental façade and watch the Changing of the Guard, a colorful spectacle that is the epitome of British tradition. Its style and history offer unparalleled and unprecedented elegance. Stroll through the gardens, an oasis of tranquillity in the middle of the city.
Big Ben, one of London's most iconic landmarks, dominates the city with its clock and chimes. Located in the heart of the Palace of Westminster, this Gothic tower attracts millions of visitors every year, fascinated by its architecture and history. Inaugurated in 1859, it continues to mark the rhythm of London life. Few people know that "Big Ben" actually refers to the large bell inside the tower, not the tower itself. Be sure to admire it at night, when it lights up and becomes even more impressive.
The Palace of Westminster, home to the British Parliament, and Westminster Abbey, where monarchs have been crowned for almost a thousand years, combine the history and spirituality of the United Kingdom. The Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the burial place of such historic figures as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. This tour takes you on a journey through British political and religious traditions.
Discover the spellbinding history of the Tower of London, fortress, prison and vault for the Crown Jewels. Built by William the Conqueror in 1066, the Tower of London preserves undiscovered political intrigue and royal tragedy. This monolithic fortress has been a palace, a prison, a menagerie, a frenzy of extraordinary joy - but never a monarch. Its towers, closer to an underground dungeon, are still in use. Legend has it that if the tower falls, so will the monarchy: that's why six ravens are kept permanently in the tower.
Tower Bridge has stood over the River Thames since the late nineteenth century. This drawbridge is a marvel of Victorian engineering, built to allow huge ships to pass under its arches. From the glass bridge, admire London and its landmarks as they unfold before your eyes. An interactive exhibition on the history of Tower Bridge's construction will take you back to the days when this bridge became the symbol of London.
The London Eye is definitely a must-see during your stay in London. This 135-meter-high Ferris wheel gives you an unforgettable panoramic view of the city. The London Eye was inaugurated in 2000 to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium, and is now one of London's most visited attractions. The glass capsules offer unique views of landmarks such as Big Ben, the Tower of London and even St. Paul's Cathedral. You won't want to miss this opportunity to contemplate the city of London.
The pulsating heart of London, Piccadilly Circus is a busy, bustling crossroads, known for its giant billboards and unrivalled atmosphere. The center lies at the crossroads of vibrant neighborhoods, surrounded by theaters, restaurants and lively stores. A must for experiencing the very essence of London. The nightlife here is constantly lively, while every nook and cranny holds a surprise in store.
Enter the fantastic world of Harry Potter and explore behind-the-scenes footage from the iconic films that have fascinated millions of fans. Stroll through the Great Hall of Hogwarts and stroll along the Chemin de Traverse, while uncovering the secrets behind the filming of the most memorable scenes. An immersive experience not to be missed by any fan of J.K. Rowling's productions.
