1. 8 Places In London You Have To See Before You Die There are so many exciting places to see in London; it can be difficult to choose which ones you want to visit. Here's our list of the top 8 places in London you have to see before you die! 1) Big Ben If you're not going to watch Big Ben chime at least once, what's even the point of visiting? The giant bell is called The Great Bell, but it's still quite a sight. It sits atop Elizabeth Tower in Westminster and has been striking every hour since 1859. It was first made in Whitechapel in 1856 by foundry workers who cast five tons of metal into a single bell. The name Big Ben came from Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw much of its construction when he remarked that it was an immensely big thing. Also, check out Westminster Abbey, only a short walk away from Big Ben. 2) National Gallery If you're an art lover, you should visit The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. It houses some of history's most renowned paintings, such as The Adoration of the Kings by Hieronymus Bosch and works by Van Gogh, Vermeer, and Leonardo da

2. Vinci. Please also stop by its newly opened east wing extension to see notable work from Monet, Cézanne, and Matisse. Take a break from all that art with a stroll around St James's Park nearby – it's one of Europe's oldest royal parks and is home to flamingos, swans, and pelicans! 3) Piccadilly Circus Many tourists to London know Piccadilly Circus for its famous Leaning Tower, which isn't a tower at all. It's a public building known as Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, and it was erected in 1893. The building is topped with Anteros statue, an ancient Greek god who represents brotherly love and is best known for his arrow shooting contests with Eros (who represented sexual love). But don't be fooled by his arrows; Anteros only shot blanks. Do you have some enemies you'd like to shoot down? Head on over to Piccadilly Circus and give him an offering of gold coins! Surely he will return your love or something like that. 4) Tower Bridge Thanks to its beautiful design and location, Tower Bridge is one of London's most iconic landmarks. This bridge was completed in 1894 and has remained a favorite among travelers. If you plan on heading over to Tower Bridge, be sure to check out St. Katharine's Pier. This is a pier located right across from Tower Bridge, making it an excellent place for fishers or people looking for a beautiful view of the water while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. Plannay Travel provides trip services at an affordable package with hotel and transport services. 5) The Mall The mall is a public pedestrian street and thoroughfare in central London. It stretches from Hyde Park Corner to Marble Arch, near Speakers' Corner. The road has grown from its original form as a processional route from St. James's Palace to a long avenue of global proportions and now carries traffic on three levels. However, it is not simply a thoroughfare; it is also lined with numerous monuments and buildings of note that give it considerable cultural significance and an attraction in its own right. 6) Buckingham Palace No trip to London is complete without a stop at Buckingham Palace, as it's Britain's largest palace and residence of its monarch. Unfortunately, you won't be able to catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II and her family—they tend to reside in one of

3. their other six residences—but you can tour an exhibit on major historical events that have taken place at the site. 7) British Museum The British Museum is a marvel of architecture, art, and human history. It's also one of the most popular museums in Europe, with more than seven million visitors each year. Look at its eclectic mix of exhibits—from ancient Assyrian stone tablets to hundreds of Egyptian mummies—and you'll see why it has become a tourist favorite! 8) St. Paul's Cathedral Established in 604 A.D., St. Paul's Cathedral is Britain's largest church, with a dome that rises to 170 feet. It's located at 206 Newgate Street and welcomes visitors of all religious beliefs every day, except for Christmas and Easter. After entering through one of six doors (the main entrance is on Ludgate Hill), check out St. How Much Does It Cost to Travel to New York? New York, the city that never sleeps, is one of the most visited destinations in the world. New York has something to offer everyone with iconic landmarks such as Central Park and the Empire State Building and activities ranging from Broadway shows to museum tours. Here's how much it will cost you to travel to New York for one week, plus where you can save money to do more things in the Big Apple!

4. Airfare Most flights from Los Angeles to New York can be purchased for around $200-$300. If you can travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays, you will usually find cheaper flights than if you were flying on a Friday or Sunday. Flying during a holiday weekend is another great way to save money! Every airline has a different policy for refunding and canceling tickets. For example, United Airlines allows passengers with non-refundable tickets that have been canceled within 24 hours of departure (and fewer than ten days before departure) an option for credit towards future travel. The amount varies by route and fare class, but it's often 20% of the ticket price! These are just a few many tricks; doing your research will help you find more. Rental Car Whether you need a car for business or pleasure, your main expense will be rental cars. In some cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington D.C., it's common to pay a daily fee between $20 and $30 per day. This can rise dramatically if you're traveling during peak times or with more than one passenger. To save money on a rental car, book well in advance and don't take unnecessary upgrades like GPS or seat warmers. If possible, try sharing rides with friends or colleagues traveling in another direction; many people will rent a car but not use it all day long, so they'll happily offer others discounted ride-sharing opportunities. Hotels Visiting NYC is one of those things that people dream about. You may have even looked into planning a trip to see what all of the fuss is about. The first thing that comes up is, How much does it cost? We're here to help you with our guide on how much it costs to travel to New York City. Let's get started! Transportation and meals The most economical way to travel between states is in a personal vehicle. If you don't have one, you can share a ride with friends or family, and if that's not an option, you might find a better deal on a bus or train. Another money-saving tip is to bring your food from home (or stop by a grocery store and purchase meals along your route). You might be surprised how much money you can save by avoiding fast food and other dining options. Once in New York City, check out Groupon for deals on things like tickets and local attractions.

5. A quick guide to visiting NYC on a budget NYC is famous for being an expensive city, but it doesn't have to be. With a few tips, you can enjoy all that NYC offers without busting your budget.

This guide on the best of New York City in just one week will help ensure that your trip doesn't miss a single must-see destination. Getting to NYC The best way to get to NYC from just about anywhere is by plane.

6. Where to Stay They are choosing a place to stay in one of your biggest decisions when planning a trip. Getting recommendations from friends and family is smart, but it's also a good idea to research. Price comparison websites like HotelsCombined make searching easy: choose dates, number of guests, and how much you want to spend per night, then compare rates at all available hotels across different neighborhoods. What To Do During the Day If you have even just a little bit of extra time, we recommend checking out some more local sights and sounds. As a major US city, there's no shortage of things to do in NYC if you know where to look. Plannay recommends: Tipping your fedora at The Statue of Liberty or snapping pics with your posse outside Carnegie Hall for starters—both nearby must-sees—and then be sure to hit Times Square, Fifth Avenue shopping (because who wouldn't want that Tiffany keychain or diamond necklace?), and Central Park. Getting Around Using public transportation is one of your best options for getting around NYC. But if you're planning to go beyond Manhattan and visit Brooklyn, Queens, or The Bronx, it's easier to use taxis or ride-sharing services like Uber. For drivers and pedestrians, knowing how to navigate the streets can make a huge difference between getting there quickly and being late; here are some tips to help you get from point A to point B. If you're visiting during rush hour (the morning hours from 7-10 am and 5:30-8 pm), make sure you leave early to beat traffic. Avoid taking cabs (unless they're an option as part of car service) as they are usually more expensive than other methods.

How Much To Budget For NYC There are many great things to do in NYC, and we'll get to those, but for now, let's figure out how much you should budget for your trip. The first question is, where will you be staying? If you've found a deal on Airbnb and booked a room, then plan on spending between $45 and $65 per night (or more if it's during high season). If you want to stay at one of these luxury hotels, expect to pay anywhere from $300-800+ per night.
