Day 1

Day 1 - Arrival in London

After landing at London Heathrow Airport, you will be met in the arrivals hall by your driver, who will take you directly to your accommodation in central London. The journey will take approximately 50 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

A Late Afternoon Stroll Along The Thames

Suggestion to explore on your own

London is Europe's most fascinating metropolis, home to one of the Old Continent's prettiest riverbanks. For a leisurely introduction to London, we recommend a twilight stroll along the River Thames taking in several of the city's most emblematic landmarks. Starting at Big Ben, Westminster Palace and the Houses of Parliament, stay on this side of the river and walk east along Victoria Embankment, with views of the London Eye ferris wheel on the opposite bank, wandering through the Victoria Embankment Gardens and passing the ancient Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle. After Blackfriars Bridge, cross the pedestrian Millennium Bridge. As you do so, spin around and admire the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Once across, you'll be right by Shakespeare's Globe. Head west to pass the Tate Modern Gallery and go under Blackfriars Bridge once more to arrive at the Oxo Tower, where you can drink in one of the best views in London at the rooftop bar while trying on of their signature cocktail creations.

A City Within a City

Suggestion to explore on your own

It's hard to believe that the area known as the City, with its tall, futuristic skyscrapers, unmistakable New York vibes, and continuous function as the British capital's business and finance mecca, is the historic core of London. The City is where it all started for London, with traces of its past dating back to Roman times. Apart from a unique blend of architectural styles from different periods, which is fascinating in its own right, the City also encompasses several unmissable landmarks in a relatively compact area that's easy to explore on foot. Start at the Sky Garden for incredible panoramic views of London from the building's terrace. Tickets are free, but they must be booked well in advance, between two and four weeks before your visit. Once you've seen London from above, it's time to walk the streets of the City, discovering its secrets one by one. Leadenhall Market is gorgeous and buzzing with life; no wonder Diagon Alley, the famous popular shopping district of the Harry Potter universe, was brought to life there. The elegance of the Royal Exchange building will amaze you, while the Monument to The Great Fire of London awaits you for more spectacular views of London. Wrap up a perfect day in the City with a cocktail or dinner at one of the area's stylish bars or restaurants.

A City Within a City

The Glow of West End

Suggestion to explore on your own

London's West End rivals Broadway in its diversity of shows, including several productions moving to London for a run. Musicals live their great days of glory in London, as producers are attracted by the lower costs to stage a show, so there's always something new to see there. Ticket prices are very reasonable, with some shows also having mid-afternoon matinees. To help you choose the best shows for your dates, we'll include some useful links in your Guest Page for good deals on theater and musicals.

Speaking of food, if you're looking to explore London's diverse food scene, gastro-focused venues like Mercato Metropolitano in Mayfair, Kingly Court in Soho, Seven Dials Market near the City, and the foodie favorite Borough Market are destinations you might want to check out.

Switzerland's largest city and main hub, Zurich is where many of the nation's bankers and scholars bump shoulders. This cosmopolitan city ranks highly in terms of livability, but for all its wealth and global prestige, the Old Town remains charming, if almost spotless. The ridges flanking Zurich's river valley offer romantic views, but the best way to hit the ground running in Zurich is to follow the river itself as it cuts through the Old Town, then meets Lake Zurich. Along the way, indulge in detours, from upscale chocolatiers to low-stress beaches.
