Buckingham Palace


The interior of the Palace is absolutely awe-inspiring; with its majestic size, grandeur and priceless artifacts. The interior is also perfect for those who want to have an ultimate photo opportunity. The museum and the gardens give a glimpse of the past and present; showing different kings and queens, regicides, revolutions, and even the dark days that the queen undergone in World War II. During these events, you can also see the different exhibitions and tours being organized throughout the year, which would be helpful for those who are thinking of visiting London during that time.



However, Buckingham Palace is not only about the royal history and the arts; it is also more than just a place to stay. While staying in the palace is indeed very pleasurable, there are actually other attractions that should not be missed when you are in London. Among the main attractions that you would definitely enjoy seeing while taking a trip to the palace are the various gardens that are situated in and around the area. Buckingham Palace is home to some of the most beautiful gardens in London, hence you do not have to worry about seeing them during your stay.



One of the most popular attractions of the Palace is of course the Buckingham Palace bus tour, which makes it easier for people to get a good glimpse of the different areas that are within the area. The tours usually start from Victoria and Albert Hall and go all the way up to Trafalgar Square. You can expect to tour the entire palace by bus, as there are a lot of routes that you can choose from. However, if you do not want to get off the bus at any point and wish to stop at different destinations, you can always take the Underground. There are also lots of parks in London that you can visit while you are in the area. All in all, you should not expect to experience too much of royal nostalgia while in London.

Another palace that must not be forgotten while visiting London is the Horse Guards carriage, known to be one of the most popular sights in the city. Built in 1760, it is one of the most important carriage houses in all of Europe and is used by the royal family, the aristocracy, and other high officials. The building was completed a few years after the death of king George III and was refurbished by his new mistress, Princess Diana. It is now run by the queen, who lives in the penthouse section.



If you happen to be an art enthusiast, then the National Gallery may be a good place to visit. Although the public is not allowed to enter the building, you will still find a lot of interesting exhibitions and lectures happening here. It also happens to be one of the largest museums in England, so it is always worth a trip. If you are looking for a place where you can buy some fine art work, then the Victoria and Albert Museum are the perfect place for you.

The British Museum is a great place for all types of people who wish to explore the world of culture and history. You can also learn about the rich history of the royal family in London as well. The Royal Air Force Museum, the Science Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum make for an excellent trip for the whole family.


In order not to be late for the excursion, we recommend renting a car with cars-scanner.

Buckingham Palace is home to a huge collection of furniture, including chairs and tables that were made during the reign of queen Victoria. There are also a number of artifacts such as crowns and scepters that have been discovered during excavations at the Palace. These pieces date back almost to the tenth century. All these wonderful attractions make this palace one of the most visited places in London. So if you are planning a vacation to a famous destination, then Buckingham Palace should be on your list.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
