London - the grand resonance of its very name suggests history and might. Its opportunities for entertainment by day and night go on and on and on. It's a city that exhilarates and intimidates, a Monopoly board studded with stellar sights.

It's a cosmopolitan mix of Third and First Worlds, the stubbornly traditional and the proudly avant-garde. But somehow - between 'er Majesty and Boy George, Bow Bells and Big Ben, the Millennium Dome and the 2012 Olympics - it all hangs together.

Suggested Itineraries in London

London is one of the favorite urban haunts of visitors to Europe because of landmark sights like Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and the historically rich Westminster Abbey. The city also boasts some of the world's greatest museums and art galleries, and more parkland than most other capitals.

Day 1: London Up Front
Buy a London Sightseeing Pass for free transport on the Underground as well as free admission to museums, galleries and attractions. Or take a guided city tour, or a hop-on hop-off tour, or even on a cycling tour.

Day 2: Exploring London
Hit up London's markets featuring trendy clothes to vintage, antiques to modern amenities, health-food to sweets. Enjoy afternoon tea and don't miss the London theater.

Day 3: Outside London
Head southwest to Windsor Castle, to Stonehenge or the Roman spas of genteel Bath. Go even further: try haggis in Edinburgh or blood pudding in Paris.
