London
London isn’t just fish and chips, bad weather and royals, it's a whole world packed into one city! Sure, the buses really are red, the cabs really are black and even locals keep admiring that massive clock by the river. But London is defined by its multiculturalism: where else can you visit centuries-old landmarks, slurp Vietnamese pho for lunch, go on a river cruise, admire artifacts from ancient Egypt, and have Ethiopian stew for dinner, all in one day?
Art, music, and fashion also thrive on every corner, from the famous museums like Tate Modern to underground gigs and vintage markets. The weather is clearly unpredictable (layers are your best friend), but London’s spirit is anything but gloomy and the city has something for everyone!
