One Day Trip In one day you might rather walk all day, istead of getting on & off buses and tubes which is a waste of time and somewhat boring, if you have just one day. What I suggest is:
Walking: Start from Piccadilly Circus,
possibily emerging from Eros’s Statue. Go down Whitehall, then The Horseguard, Buckingham Palace and then back through the Mall you’ll emerge in Trafalgar Square.
Moving:
Three Day Trip I’ll do the Jubilee Walk in 2 days; one day per bank; which is mostly the 1 day trip multiplied per 2, which allows you to visit, though for a very short time, Covent Garden, The Tate, the National Gallery and possibily take a tour on the London Eye. I’ll devote the third day to the more prophane Soho, Regent, Oxford Street, Madame Tussauds Hyde Park, Tottenham, British Museum walk / tour.
One Week Trip Routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 10-11, 12, 14 Doing all the included visits, plus British Museum and Camden Town on a Sat afternoon. It’s quite hard to complete, but it’s worth the toil.
Gita di un giorno
In un giorno potrebbe essere preferibile camminare, invece di andare su e giu’ da autobus e dall’underground, che nonostante siano entrambi mezzi estremamente rappresentativi della capitale britannica, possono essere sicuramente poco confortevoli, specie nella stagione calda e, in ogni caso, possono far perdere piu’ tempo di quello che fan guadagnare, specie se si ha poco tempo. Inoltre Londra, citta’ per ora ancora molto orizzontale, e’ metropoli da girare il piu’ possibile a piedi. Il mio suggerimento per una lunghissima camminata di un giorno intero che pero’ portera’ a vedere praticamente tutto quello che c’e’ da vedere anche se, ovviamente, senza soste. Partite da Piccadilly
Circus, possibilmente entrando dall’uscita che indica *Eros’s Statue*. Risalite lungo la Whitehall, entrate nella Horseguard, poi fate tutto St.James’s Park finche’ arrivate a Buckingham Palace. Tornando per il Mall arriverete a Trafalgar Square a due passi da dove avete iniziato il vostro lunghissimo giro.
Se invece volete usare qualche mezzo pubblico, potreste dover rinunciare al peraltro bellissimo Jubilee Walk (ve lo sconsiglio!) ma in compenso potrete trovare un paio di mezz’orette per vedere dall’esterno il British Museum e la National Gallery.
Gita di tre
giorni. Io farei il Jubilee Walk in due giorni: sostanzialmente e’ lo stesso percorso del giro di 1 giorno ma diviso in due giornate, il che permette di sostare almeno a Covent Garde, la Tate, la National Gallery e fare un giro sul non indimenticabile ma ormai caratteristico London Eye. Dedicherei poi la terza giornata al giro dei parchi, giungendo li’ al pomeriggio dopo essere partiti la mattina dal British Museum, Tottenham, Oxford Street, Hyde Park e Kensigton Gardens.
Gita di una settimana
Seguirei gli itinerary 1, 2, 3,
4, 10-11, 12 e 14
