A Tour of Some London Museums

During our stay in London we had the chance to visit some of the city's most interesting museums, reassured by the fact that entry is completely free and that this therefore lets you go in several times to focus better on each thing. The first museum we visited was the famous BRITISH MUSEUM in Russell Square, which we reached by bus no. 52 (we'd taken lodgings in Kensington, a fairly central area served by a good number of buses) picked up in the Queensway area. Aside from the monumental entrance, what attracted us were the marvels inside. The vestiges of the past, perfectly preserved, came alive before us. What a wonder, the Rosetta Stone or the remains of the Parthenon, and what can I say about the Etruscan sarcophagi? You can also have a satisfying and relatively cheap lunch there (it has to be said that London is a very expensive city).

The next day it was the turn of two adjoining museums (you can reach them from the inside) that are also fairly similar in the subject matter they cover: the National History Museum and the Science Museum. The subjects covered are interesting both for those interested in science and for those who want some general culture. Here too magnificent entrances, here too the chance of a good lunch break at almost popular prices. The two museums are in the Hyde Park area, so if you're staying in Kensington you can reach them either by bus (or by tube, of course) or, if you feel like a bit of a walk, even on foot! We strongly recommend visiting them, along with the other museums that we, for lack of time, didn't manage to see. A good excuse to return to this city of a thousand faces.
