London

Nagy-Britannia fővárosában lépten-nyomon ellentétekkel találkozik a turista. A modern, csillogó épületek tövében 8-900 éves templomok, fogadók húzódnak meg. A világhírű belvárosi parkok növény- és állatvilága rendkívül gazdag. Mindenütt meglepetések várnak ránk: hangulatos térzene, nyüzsgő múlt századi piacok, virágdíszes házsorok, római városfalak, ultramodern millenniumi látványosságok.
