London has iconic landmarks, beautiful architecture and plenty of sights and attractions. The best thing is that those in the know are fully aware that the highlights of London can be experienced for free.

The London museums and galleries are the places to start. The British Museum, the most visited of all is free to enter. The National Gallery and its art exhibitions don’t cost a penny and the famous Tate Modern and Tate Britain are also free of charge. The wonderful National History Museum delights the young and old, the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert all make up London’s free museums.

The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the London Eye are all in close proximity and cost nothing to look at and admire. A day can be spent wandering from one to the other and taking photographs.

The Changing of the Guards is not be missed on a trip to London. Visitors should get there early to get a view of Buckingham Palace as it is one of London’s most popular attractions. Every day in summer and every other day in winter the guards start their ritual at 11.30am on the dot and it is a spectacular sight.

With views of Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Park is a perfect stop for a picnic lunch. It is free to enter, as are all the London parks, and offers free guided tours of one of London’s rare green spots. Hyde Park, with Speakers Corner, free band concerts in the summer and the Diana Fountain is also worth a visit.

Covent Garden is a must on any London itinerary and it doesn’t have to cost anything. The licensed street performers put on fantastic shows and visitors can see comedians, acrobats, singers and dancers all for free.

On Southbank near Waterloo Bridge, the National Theatre puts on free music and exhibitions prior to the paying performances. It is well worth taking a look to see who is playing and what’s on show.

It is free to worship in Westminster Abbey. Evensong is held every day at 5.00pm and tourists can join in, see the beautiful architecture and listen to the choir without having to pay an entrance fee.

The BBC films a lot of its TV shows in London and are always on the lookout for audiences to fill up their studios. A quick visit to www.tvrecordings.com or www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/tickets reveals a whole host of free tickets to the latest recordings.

For those on a budget, London has more than its fair share of free sights, making it a capital city accessible to all.

At this phase you might have already determined that Cuba is the country that you want to visit for your next vacation but perhaps need some assistance on the booking side of it . I know this could sound a bit too trivial but you should know few important things in order to get the best deal for your holidays in Cuba.

The fact that Cuba is such a delightful and increasingly popular destination, presents travel agents with a real problem . Cuba is definitely not a last minute destination , in particular if you are travelling in the high season.

The peak or high season in Cuba falls within the months of July and August, the Easter period, Christmas and New year’s eve . November, December, January, February and March are awfully well-liked months particularly for travellers from Europe in search of a warm country to avoid few days of miserable weather.

Quite regularly I get customers requesting me to arrange a package holiday for them in these particular periods, and every so often the phone call comes to close to the departure date . It is extremely frustrating for me and ultimately the client. For one pure reason, I just can not recommend holiday worth it because all the popular areas and best hotels are completely booked, and then I am left with the only honest answer I can give. “I am truthfully sorry but at this point there is nothing available that I feel comfortable recommending ”

If you are looking to stay in big resorts then there is not much to worry about. The problem arises when customers want to combine in a package locations like Havana, Viales Valley, Las Terrazas, Cienfuegos, Trinidad and or Santiago de Cuba. Areas like these with the exception of Havana are very limited when it comes to hotel availabilities.

If what you want is to put together a tailor made Cuba holiday in a high season my guidance to you is to call at least 4 months prior to departure in order to secure not only the rooms in your preferred hotels but also the best deal from the airlines . If you unfortunately did not read this article before and are thinking about a multi centre holiday to Cuba, there is always a possibility to find something available but is not going to be the kind of holiday that we wish for you.

In the case of low season months is trouble-free to find availabilities and good deals in terms of price and it really does not matter much when you call. Even so we feel very confident to put together the kind of itinerary that will fulfil your holidays

I truly hope you have found this article a useful resource and sincerely wish you a very pleasant stay in Cuba.
