About Londres

Londres junta cerimonial real, museus de nível mundial e monumentos à beira do rio a bairros distintos, mercados e parques para explorar a pé.

O Tamisa costura a cidade. Nas suas margens erguem-se o Parlamento e o Big Ben, a Torre de Londres com as joias da Coroa, a Tower Bridge e o longo passeio da South Bank, que passa pela London Eye, pelo Globe de Shakespeare e pela Tate Modern. A Catedral de São Paulo e a Abadia de Westminster ancoram o horizonte mais antigo, enquanto as torres de vidro se apinham no distrito financeiro.
