Discover the British capital on London city breaks

written by Dan Casper March 19, 2016

Discover the British capital on London city breaks

A cosmopolitan city of history, fine dining, fabulous shopping and even some romantic spots, London is a popular destination for anyone seeking a relaxing city break.

If you're planning a getaway to the British capital, you'll want to be sure to find accommodation that's comfortable, affordable and in a central location, and Vacenza can help.

With our assistance, you can quickly and easily locate great London hotels, so you can spend your time planning other aspects of your trip – like what to pack and what to do when you get there!

London's top attractions

First-time visitors to London should be sure to see the city's iconic sights – and if the weather's nice, why not treat yourself to a walking tour?

A stroll along the Thames will take you near to most of the main attractions and will give you a chance to get a feel for the buzz of city life – and if you get tired you can always hop on an underground train or open-top tour bus to take you the rest of the way!

For example, you could start your day with a visit to the Tower of London, where you can see the crown jewels and the famous ravens. Then cross Tower Bridge and walk along the vibrant South Bank. You'll pass two famous ships: the HMS Belfast and the Golden Hinde before approaching the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

Crossing the Millennium Bridge will take you to St Paul's Cathedral. Explore the beautiful churchyard and take some time to appreciate the handiwork of architect Christopher Wren. You can also take a tour of the interior and climb to the top of the towers for dazzling views of the city.

From there, head up Fleet Street to see the stunning buildings that were once home to the British press. Or maybe stop for a drink at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese – one of the oldest pubs in the city, it was a regular haunt of literary figures like Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Your next stop will be Trafalgar Square. From there you can pass under the Admiralty Arch and walk through St James's Park to see Buckingham Palace. Or head down Whitehall, passing landmarks like Horse Guard's Parade and 10 Downing Street before arriving at Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

Looking for something more?

Of course, there are plenty of other options for visitors to London. Music lovers can choose from a West End show, a night at the opera in Covent Garden or an atmospheric jazz club in Soho. If you're looking for some retail therapy, a trip to Oxford Street or Knightsbridge could be the perfect choice.

Meanwhile, if you want to enjoy some time in the great outdoors, London has plenty of open spaces – like Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Green Park – perfect for a leisurely stroll, an energetic run or a quiet picnic.

Or if you're looking to unwind, why not pamper yourself with a trip to a day spa, followed by dinner at a Michelin star restaurant?

However you choose to spend your time while on a city break to London, Vacenza will make it easy to book your accommodation. Visit our website today to make reservations and find money-saving offers.
