we don’t think that there can be any better city in the world than London where you can spend
your vacation without really spending too much.

Visit the sky garden
Perhaps, the best place to visit in London to get the best view of the city. The sky garden is one
of the best places to visit in London as it offers the best view of the city that too for free of cost.
Gaze out the window and take the beautiful view of the city’s skyline, which also makes for one
of the best photography spots. Although, this place is free to visit but you still will have to
register yourself on their site for visit. Many restaurants and bars are also available on the top
three floors of this building where you can have some drinks and food. Isn’t this the best place to
hang out without spending even a penny?
Watch the changing of the guard
The changing of the guard is probably one of the best ceremonies you can attend in the city. It is
held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at Buckingham palace exactly at 11 am. In
this ceremony, the guards serving at the Buckingham palace hand over their responsibilities to
the new guard in a proper traditional manner by holding a march in which all the guards are
dressed up in red tunics and bearskin hat. They stomp around the palace with pleasantry music in
the background. This whole thing is pretty entertaining to watch, which you can do for free. Just
make sure to arrive a little early as it gets really crowded when the ceremony starts.
