Most people usually go away so that they can think of nothing, leave all their troubles behind and charge their batteries on a deserted beach. However, as we grow older, we tend to forget how exciting it can be to go on an adventure, be spontaneous and not have every single thing planned out in advance. From time to time, you should allow yourself a getaway such as this, especially if you’re working with a tight budget.
Having a small traveling budget isn’t a legitimate excuse not to travel – you just need to change your criteria. For example, instead of being fascinated with an exquisite five course meal in a five star hotel, you should look for joy in completely different things, like wonders of nature and artistic soul food. Sure, London has many luxurious attractions, but if you set them aside, you’ll be surprised by what is left. Best of all – you’ll be able to visit them for free.
British Museum
If you’re up for a quick two million year tour through human history, the British Museum is the right kind of place for you. Other than their regular collection, there is always some kind of exhibition going on. You should definitely check their website, so that you know what to expect. Also, this museum is really family-friendly, so if you decide to bring your kids as well there will be many interesting activities you can participate in. They offer free entry, but you should know that most people leave a £5 donation.
Natural History Museum
If you’d rather have an adventure and find out more about wildlife, you should definitely pay a visit to the Natural History Museum. You’ll be amazed by their Dinosaurs gallery, and of course, the notorious Diplodocus skeleton won’t leave you indifferent. Even the entrance has that wow effect – their blue whale model is the first thing you’ll see in the Centre Hall. Other than special exhibits, you’ll be able to enjoy these wonders of nature absolutely free.
