Jet lag can complicate travel, but London offers an abundance of free museums and interesting architecture, creating a solid travel experience even amidst the perception of high costs. Many attractions, like the Victoria and Albert Museum, provide a chance to enjoy historical settings without an entrance fee, though dining options can be pricey. In comparing hotel prices, it's important to note that they typically include taxes and amenities, unlike in the U.S., which helps mitigate unexpected expenses. Furthermore, tipping is not customary, enabling travelers to save even more.
Jet lag can be so demanding. Within an hour of arriving in London, my case led me to a 5.50 pound (about $7) slice of lemon, raspberry and pistachio cake at the cafe in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Though London often winds up on lists of the world's most expensive cities, travelers will find free attractions and arresting architecture linked by easy-to-navigate public transportation.
But unlike rates in the United States, they generally include taxes and extras like breakfast and no surprise $30 amenity fees at check out.
There are many worthy ways to splurge in London, including visiting landmarks like the Tower of London (35), Westminster Abbey (30) and St. Paul's Cathedral (26).
